Favourite International style skyscrapers?
Many 60s/70s skyscrapers are in the International Style. What are your favourite skyscrapers of this underrated architectural style?
Examples: Toronto Dominion Center, Toronto  XYZ Buildings, NYC  One Shell Square, New Orleans  And any other late 20th century boxy skyscraper!

I think my examples won't be anything revolutionary. I have no idea why, but the brown skyscrapers of Los Angeles are my absolute favourite. I was passing by the Universal City Plaza every day and this building is gorgeous, even its parking lot looks good.
As for the Wells Fargo Center, it's basically the same. Everything is perfect - the diamond shape, the color, the reflectivity and the facade. 10 UCP  WFC image hosted on flickr

Nice ones!
My favourites are the World Trade Center, of course.  But my favourite International Style buildings still standing are these ones in Toronto: First Canadian Place image hosted on flickr  TD Center  Commerce Court West, Toronto  I also like Chicago's AON Center

 The Aviva Tower in London resembles many American International-styled buildings. |

Hmph, looks like I'm an international fella even more than I am a brutalist. All the buildings posted here are incredibly beautiful. There aren't many more buildings that I know and that I could add, but one comes to my mind and that is 432 Park
  And since the link to the AON Center pic doesn't work I will post that one too  And to be patriotic also one of ours, the STV Tower

I think it's settled then, 432 park is International Modernist.
 This is probably the most underrated I.M. box of all time, WTC7 Everybody seemed to hate it before it fell, and hate it even today for all the controversy it caused   Sadly, tied in terms of hatred with the Verizon Building, but for different reasons:

On a brighter note, the Seagram Building!
 And Los Angeles's stunning City National Plaza!

 One of my favourites is the CNA Center in Chicago, for its unusual colour. |
