As I was walking around City Hall Plaza, the Edward W Brooke Courthouse caught my eye. Its sharp building edge pierces into the sky, and creates such a nice contrast of building and the surroundings. I especially like when the triangulated corners of a building do this. It is a common notion to think that a triangular site can pose such a problem, but when designed correctly it can be done quite beautifully. (Also the Richard E. Griffin Academic Center for MCPHS on Huntington Avenue in Boston.)
