Thanks. You've left me depressed enough to abandon adding my picks to this thread.

I've always liked the Bank of America building in San Francisco. It's classy.

Compliments of Google:

Call me a homer, but I've always loved the Carew Tower.

Can't decide - either PPG Place or the Chrysler.

Call me local, but hey ... what can I say, its the best

Transamerica Pyramid - San Francisco, CA

When and if the Transbay Towers are designed and made public, then we should see quite a show

1ajs · #14 Posted **Oct 18, 2006, 4:56 AM**

nothing like standing at the foot of the Transamerica Pyramid witch i have done and then geting lost in downtown sf

I'm gonna have to go local here as well and say Calatrava's addition to the Milwaukee Art Museum is my favorite:

135 East 57th Street, New York City

Such a nice building, but rather small, ususally in the shadows of the taller buildings in midtown.

malec · #17 Posted **Oct 21, 2006, 10:21 PM**

My favourite building changes all the time. Right now it's the bahrain WTC:

nygirl1 · #18 Posted **Oct 21, 2006, 10:40 PM**

^ those are pretty freakin cool in that pic. Can someone say: Star Wars

For me it would have to be 40 wall street in New York City but it's really the combination of 40 wall,20 exchange, and the American International.
