monolithic

..monolithic, the word that comes to mind when seeing this building..

The Williams Tower (formerly the Transco Tower) is a skyscraper located in the Uptown District of Houston. It was designed by architects Philip Johnson and John Burgee, in association with Houston-based Morris-Aubry Architects, and erected in 1983. The tower is among Houston’s most visible buildings. The building is the 4th-tallest in Texas and the 23rd-tallest in the United States. When it was built, in 1983, it stood as the tallest skyscraper located outside a city’s central business district.

i said ‘wow’ but i think monolithic is probably a bit more descriptive and definitely equally applicable. those dark lines really draw your eye up and up and up don’t they 🙂

Let … extraordinary. I love this picture perspective. This is seen high buildings. Regards From Yogyakarta.

An elegant building for its smooth design and general appeal. Nice shot.

Nice perspective. Which I had something to give more of a sense of scale.

WOW! Fantastic architectural image. Love your perspective and point-of-view.

Great description of this building and great shot!

Wow! That big building, surely in his last plant is the sensation of being much closer to the sky!

Very cool building. Looks like it goes up for a mile!

You know I love structure shots. This one has an interesting history. I like it’s design and coloring and you’ve captured it well.

I’m glad I read that Houston story. I thought if I missed this in NYC I was going senile! Nice upward view. Love the golden tone of it. Almost looks like it should be multiple images as it’s so vertical. Really nice job.
