You realize that 3 of those 4 architects you listed don't (didn't) have their world headquarters in NYC right? Childs is an NYC guy though (by way of DC).
KPF has plenty of signature towers around the world to more than make up for some perceived lack of one in NYC.
Shanghai World Financial Center anyone?
BTW, count me in the camp that is glad that Travelstead wasn't built. Nice proportions, but really odd massings and overly fussy (typical of many of the KPF towers of that era).
