Favorite postmodern skyscrapers?
Postmodernist skyscrapers emerged in popularity in the early 1980s after the modernist boom. Most buildings have facades with a mix of glass, brick, and metal, and may have some elements of art deco. What are your favorite postmodernist skyscrapers?
Mine are: Wells Fargo Center, Minneapolis  Bank of America Corporate Center, Charlotte One Canada Square, London  \Guangzhou Pinnacle  Key Tower, Cleveland  Main Plaza, Frankfurt  PPG Place, Pittsburgh

Have always loved the Bank of America Corporate Center in Charlotte. Such a magnificant example of the architectural style. Another one of my favourites is Chifley Tower in Sydney

 Even more beautiful is its modern indoor public space.

The first and last ones aren't. The first one is international modernist and the last one is deconstructivist/expressionist (I think)
