I think, like the country itself, America is known more for its mixture of elements. Of course cities like Chicago and New York have great examples of very modern approaches, but almost any major city has its own icons.

I'll put a small plug in for Atlanta, but a large part of that is simply how new the city is. Its skylines are looking more and more modern, but it has the benefit of simply not having a lot of old buildings to "dilute" the glass towers.

I also agree that America has tended toward the safe or the iconic, but I think that is changing. Some of the new mixtures of steel and glass into organic forms are just stunning.
