Mention the name César Pelli and you can almost predict the sort of building you might see — shiny, sleek, and tall. Usually very tall. For decades, Pelli has been a byword for skyscrapers, and was even awarded a Lifetime Achievement by the Council of Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat. When he died in 2019, his practice had completed over a hundred major projects, many of them dominating the skyline of the major cities of the world. And while they are hard to fault, they can sometimes be hard to love. But does that matter?
