Jin Mao win the modern one.

Not the best but the gold crown of Eureka Tower looks great, especially when the sun reflects off it.

I like Jin Mao, Chrysler, Tapei 101 and Petronas Twin Towers. Seems like many older buildings have more detail in the crown.

***Manila-X*** · October 25th, 2006, 12:23 PM

As for the historical ones, I prefer General Electric and Chrysler in NY

I gotta go with Chrysler.

Chrysler is beautiful but I really dont think it is the best. There is definitly something out there which looks better - what? I dont know.
