Alright--I don't intend to spam this thread with images of every single midrise I like, but the Wrigley Building needs to be mentioned!

The Lloyds Building deserves a mention.

95m tall, designed by Richard Rogers. All the pipes, cables, lifts, etc. are fitted on the outside - the building is literally "inside out"!

I'm not sure if this office building qualifies. Please discuss.

Guthrie Pavillion (40m), Shah Alam, Malaysia.

I feel so honoured that someone put me into his "most-hated people list." He probably felt that he fit into my description in the signature.

NO to Nuclear Plant in Malaysia! If you so want it, build it in Putrajaya and I'll relocate to Penang.

As long as the building has a pinnacle height of 35-149m, it qualifies for this contest.

Roof heights don't matter - as long as the highest point on the building is 35m+.
