Westin Peachtree Plaza, ATLANTA
Built: 1976 Height: 220m Floors: 73 It was the tallest hotel building in the world when completed       I think it should deffinetly be one of the best from the 70s

1- John Hancock Center, Chicago.
 2- Sears Tower, Chicago.  3- World Trade Center, New York.  4- Tour Montparnasse, Paris.  1970's were a fantastic decade for the big, black, massive buildings. |

Citibank is a good example of how a major engineering flaw could be salvaged. Chicago Hancock is a good example of how one single building can incorporate multiple land uses.

The 70s had some of the most iconic scrapers but to me it's
1) WTC 2) Sears Tower 3) Transamerica Pyramid
