Maybe the City Center towers

Basically, a nice start at undoing all the modern crap that crushes in scale and deadens the street.

Im Kinda soso with ya there. I dont think Burnett has much of one being away on the edge of town and on the edge of the park. Carter+Burgess definitly has no scale,and has no street level appeal,but it does look nice from the street level looking up almost everywhere in the city. The CC towers both have a futuristic feel to the base,with the crazy shape and glassed in escalotors and the huge Metel columns. I thing its street level is great,its just different. I know it wanst mentioned,but The Tower's has improved greatly since the tornado,it fits in yet stands out.
My problem with all of these is their utterly massive parking garages
