Austin is... pt2

There are many new buildings being built in Austin, condos are being built in the Warehouse District. In front lies Austin's New City Hall, built in 2004 and designed by Antoine Predock, in association with Cotera, Kolar, Negrete, and Reed, it combines elements of the southwest and well thought out modern design. It is infinately better than its homonym, the ugly, hideous, and poorly designed Boston City Hall /Government Center.

This office building, near a river known as "Town Lake", is new, stylish, and handsome. For the most part, Philadelphia's most recent construction is none of those things.

The Frost Bank building is a handsome new skycraper with a top that, to me, resembles a leaves of a plant of petals of a flower
