Building Spotlight: One PPG Place

One of the great triumphs of this industrial city on the edge of America's heartland is the One PPG Place building (1 PPG Place, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania).  It looks like a glass castle rising into the sky.  Appropriately enough, it was built for the Pittsburgh Plate Glass company.  It would be a real shame if a glass company built anything other than a spectacular crystalline structure.
