Detroit, Michigan, USA

Modernist architecture from the 1970s was meant to signal the rebirth of Detroit, so they chose the name Renaissance Center. Unfortunately, they built it like a fortress that existed apart from rather than a part of downtown. There is no doubt who 'owns' this city, is there? Whose signature is on the central tower? [2008]
