B, no doubt. A is tall, but that's it. Nothing special about it.

(Voted A on accident )

Both are fairly ugly towers, but I selected B just because it has a bit more detail.

I'm not a fan of either building. But if I had to choose one i'd go with A.

I voted for A. It's design is more timeless and has an understated elegance.

I like B too tho.

horizontal lines make a building look so much more squat and wide, while verticle lines make a building seem tall and slender. the difference between Aon center Chicago and first Canadian plaza Toronto

I hated A immediately upon viewing.
Then I read that it designed by the American architect that I despise the most.
