I love 4 WTC, for some reason its extra-mirrory, really tall with a flat roof, from the street it often looks like it disappears. https://42floors.com/images/H

  I can't help but wonder how much of this is influenced by the lighting and composition of the photo. Both your examples and those in the article. I'm generally not a fan of the all-glass architecture, or even modern architecture in general, and prefer buildings made of stone, and preferably on a human scale, like 19th and early 20th century architecture. After the War, buildings became featureless and soulless, and when architects started making them look good from a distance or from the sky, and not up close. Designed to look good as a model but not something for real people to live in. Recent years have fortunately seen a return to more sensible architecture.

    Yes definitely that second pic is probably not great. One thing I think it does benefit from is being surrounded by other tall buildings, so often you can only see it from very close up and its that view in the first photo that I see nearly every day.
