Few postmodern buildings besides AT&T building have been able to capture so much of what people appreciated about older pre-1930 styles (Detailing, order, proportioning, etc) and adjust them in a masterpiece for the modern era. It's disturbing to see architects repeating some of the mistakes they made in the last century. On another note, hopefully this white/blue glass Chipoltle-Modern aesthetic that's been en-vogue since about 2000 wears off soon.
