It reminds me of The Rennaisance Centre in Detroit! I really don't find it amusing except the lower part of the building!

This would make a better contender for Malaysia

Yeah the Westin Peachtree Plaza Hotel. Great views from the top, and it reflects the skyline @ night.

Of course, more work awaits it in the future before Detroit will fully recover from its past.

If I'm being honest I think Detroit is a sh*thole too.... And I agree with him with regards to the REnaissance Center.

Some of it's suburbs are nice though.

My favourite is the Hopewell for hte record.

I visited Detroit last summer and the downtown wasn't as bad as I thought. There are a few abandoned buildings but there has been a lot of rejuvenation work as well. A small section of the riverfront has been revitalized in front of the RenCen and there is a casino within walking distance.

Can the US Bank Tower in LA be considered cylindrical or does the scraper have to be a full cylinder?
