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.
