For Western USA, my favorite skyscrapers BY FAR are Los Angeles's 2 California Plaza...
 ...and the Columbia Center in Seattle.

Hmmm probably Chrysler Building by a bunch of reasons. I also love Petronas Tower and the IFC in Hong Kong. And as a Swede, a honorable mention must be Turning Torso!
  And for some reason the Mercury tower in Moscow really grabs me.

Yeah, there are a bunch of awesome art deco buildings which could be mentioned. It's hard picking one favourite since they usually all have something to awesome to offer.

Philip Johnson's modernist masterpiece, the IDS Center (the first pic is from 1972, when it was the only big skyscraper in Minneapolis) Today, while still a dominant presence, it's had to bow to a bunch of other great towers.

Another great tower - also in Minneapolis - is Cesar Pelli's Wells Fargo Center:
 And another shot with the IDS Center to the right and I.M. Pei's cylindrical 225 South Sixth to the left.

I always forget about that building. It's a shame they added that lettering on top.

 Simple yet eye candy.  Again simple and classy. They look intimidating in a good way, no building can compare. |
