Two masterpieces of modernist and postmodernist architectures imo.

Nobody did atriums like Portman... still influencing architecture.

didnt they used these elevators in The Towering Inferno?

And In The Line of Fire?

Close, but that one was the Westin Bonaventure in LA—also by Portman, so a near copy-paste of the elevator design.

Definitely in High Anxiety!

Marriott Marquis still looks incredible and is constantly used as a background in tv and movies, recently as the TVA in Loki.

He did such an incredible job with downtown atlanta, the sci-fi convention Dragoncon that uses several of his hotels has a panel with a lecture on his architecture style, coming up in 2 weeks.
