Beauty being in the eye of the beholder, 432 Park Avenue's one of my favourite pieces of contemporary architecture.
*shrug
It's so wonderfully unfussy - I particularly like the 'service floors' which are emptier to aid air-flow, reducing the swaying.
Admittedly, the skyline might be a bit dull if every building was so bluntly utilitarian, but as an exception, I find it refreshing.
