What is your favorite building in America? I know there's a lot to choose from. I think America actually has fantastic architecture, and I love the old-new contrast in cities. Here are my favorites:

1. Comcast Center-Philadelphia

2. The Chrysler Building-New York

3. Two Prudential Plaza-Chicago

4. Citigroup Center-New York

5. IDS Center-Minneapolis

Your favorites?

Chrysler in NYC. It's certainly the most attractive art deco tower, and it's perhaps the most beautiful office tower in the world.

Geesh, this is a hard one. But the first that comes to mind for me is Philly's City Hall. Love that building.

prettiest city in America for buildings and houses (IMO) is charleston, SC.

A very boring, very beautiful city!

I'm not the biggest fan of Charlotte, but I do have to say that I like the Duke Energy building. Simple, yet interesting during the day, then at night they play with the lights. Usually it's light blue, almost white, but they turn it different colors for holidays, teams, etc. Also, every hour it turns a different color (or colors) for a few minutes before switching back. You would think something like that would be tacky, but it's really pretty understated compared to what it could be. Well, that is except when the Panthers score... but that almost never happens, haha.
