To the right, the Time & Life and Exxon buildings, neighbors on Sixth Avenue at Rockefeller Center, in New York.
The Exxon building is the "x" in what are called the XYZ buildings, three monolithic, much-derided office buildings that sit in a row across from the setbacks and Art Deco friezes of 30 Rock. I like their verticality, though, the way they grab your eyes and urge you to look up to where they square off against the sky.
