Seagram Building
Seagram Building Review
Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, a pioneer of modern architecture, built this boxlike bronze-and-glass tower in 1958. The austere facade belies its wit: I-beams, used to hold buildings up, here are merely attached to the surface, representing the idea of support. The Seagram Building's innovative ground-level plaza, extending out to the sidewalk, has since become a common element in urban skyscraper design.

This is a historically important building by a world renowned architect, though it now looks like numerous of other buildings of its era and doesn't really stand out from its imitators. Maybe that's a good thing, but I came away underwhelmed.
