The architect of The John Hancock Center designed the the Sears Tower so that's why the two towers look alike!

Hancock... I prefer the more simplistic/streamlined design.

Thanks. I was going through some pictures and realized I had quite a few of NYC and Chicago that were great for side by side comparisons.

I've always loved the Chrysler Building. It's beautiful and it's an iconic skyscraper due to its beauty and unique architecture.

I'd vote Hancock on just about any other comparison, but I love the Chrysler even more

Both are iconic skyscrapers. But in all honesty, I think the Chrysler Building is the most elegant looking skyscraper ever constructed. I also think the Chrysler Building has the most recognizable look of any skyscraper but the Empire State Building is a more recognizable name.
