I pick the Mainplace Tower. It has a cool design to it.

Mainplace looks sleek and interesting, while Museum Tower looks like 'stock modern condo tower building photo #1247.'

So according to your criteria for what makes buildings beautiful Houston would have the third best skyline in the United States? It is the third tallest after all.

So, buildings are like penises then? Bragging rights go to the most well-hung?

I think a building's character and architectural worth should be based around uniqueness and not height. With that in mind, I'd have to agree that both of these buildings look like lighters. Houston's finest architectural moment was in 1927 with the Esperson building, which is FAR from the tallest.

Hands down the Museum tower. It'll be located within the art district. It'll be very beautiful and will compliment the Dallas's skyline well.
