CNG Tower

Kohn Pederson Fox
1980's

Distant views
This post modern skyscraper with its clear sense of a base and top alludes to early skyscrapers. (See the Wainwright Building, for example.) Still the use of traditional elements (in contemporary materials) is quirky and unusual.

Base and details of the top

The entrance loggia

A side entrance
Note the arched pediment, the fluted pilasters, and the non-structural engaged columns--all traditional elements used in a typically post-modern untraditional way.
