p.s.
Not crazy about Citicorp either, but it gets a pass from me because idiots designed it and they didn't know any better.

Citicorp is grotesque if you ask me. A building on stilts - just what the doctor ordered for the War on Terror 21st Century!
I saw a docu on public tv (of all things) about the construction of Citicorp. Turns out that well into construction of it a significant structural flaw was discovered using some kind of primitive computer models (the computers were primitive, not the models). Evidently if a good stiff wind hit the building over a certain speed at a certain spot, it would tilt over and maybe worse.
Sheesh, somebody forgot to carry a 3 or something when designing it. Ugly building.
