Midcentury skyscraper architecture, as boring and repetitive as it was, inspired a lot of interesting midcentury art.
Karl Auerbach@mattblaze Yeah, international style with masses of boring glass and not an earth tone or surface in sight.
At least the glass curtain wall had a glorious start:

Not that modern stuff a la Gehry is any better than 1950-1980 stuff (except when it comes to not leaking water or not having emergency stairwells that one has to step across a void to reach.)
Gimme a Sullivan or Morgan building over the modern stuff.
