AT&T Building : very famous
Postmodern building with its so-called 'Chippendale Chair' top. Its marriage
of a regular (efficient = profitable) skyscraper with a iconic piece of
architecture 'plonked' on top made it highly unpopular amongst many architects
but regarded by many others as enviograting, moving away from the solemnity
of typical Modern movement buildings - which had largely become stripped-down
variants to money-making shells by the early Eighties. Renamed the Sony
Building.
