Wells Fargo Center from Foshay — Fotopedia

View of the Wells Fago Center (née Norwest Center) from the Foshay Tower. It's kind of an art deco nouveau style (if that's a real style), and some people say it's basically a copy of the big building at Rockefeller Center. The Rand Tower in lower-right is real deco.

If Minneapolis was Metropolis, this would be Lex Luthor's headquarters.

The other side of this building is even more interesting, but it's usually shaded (facing north-northeast) and I don't know of a place to get a good shot of it.

César Pelli

César Pelli (born October 12, 1926) is an Argentine American architect known for designing some of the world's tallest buildings and other major urban landmarks. In 1991, the American Institute of Architects (AIA) listed Pelli among the ten most influential living American architects. His many awards include the 1995 AIA Gold Medal which recognizes a body of work of lasting influence on the theory and practice of architecture. Perhaps his most famous work are the Petronas Twin Towers, which were for a time the world's tallest buildings. He also designed the World Financial Center complex in downtown Manhattan, next to the since-fallen World Trade Center.
