but as to why transco (i refuse to call it williams) are not like chrysler or empire state building is not due to their architecture but when they were built and where they were built. philip johnson is brilliant and one of my favorite architects and i finally made it to his glass house in CT this summer.

if the transco tower were built in a more iconic city and similarly situated as it is in houston, i think it would be more well known internationally.
