Bucking the Trend

This is very subjective so I hope my fellow Phoenix forumers don't mind my choice. I was first going to choose the historic Phoenix City Hall...I know its hard to believe that a city as young as Phoenix has an historic city hall, but it's true and it is a beautiful building. But, I'm going to buck the trend of those who chose structures of classic greek-inspired or deco architecture and select a modern municipal building that artistically incorporates a renovated historic structure as well. I love the juxtaposition of the Phoenix Municipal Court building with the historic, renovated Walker Building. The modern court building, clad in vibrant Arizona sandstone, contrasts with the classic architecture of the white Walker building on the corner of the block. I think it's a visually stunning result
