Sears Tower, Chicago IL http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/buildingbig/...yscraper_1.jpg ?, Tokyo http://skyscraperphotos.com/cit/dja01/d/izja175.jpg 2. Chrysler Building, New York, NY http://www.adamandlyn.co.uk/images/chrysler.jpg 1 and 2 Liberty Place, Philly, PA http://www.thecityreview.com/skyter10.jpg Zhongtian International Mansion, Urumqi, China http://skyscraperpage.com/gallery/da...3zhongtian.jpg ?, Santiago, Chile http://www.enjoy-chile.org/chile-pic...o-santiago.jpg With the instances of complete and inexecusable plaigerism such as the Liberty Place/Chinese copy and 1 PPG/S. Korean church I think there really should be some legal consequences. Oh, and by the way, all of Cesar Pelli's buildings look the same, anyway. |
