This architect used cornices, escutcheons, and window architraves made of copper to add a facade to the Sibour-designed Investment Building in Washington D.C. He used a bright orange deformed triangular arc as the lobby for the thin metal-skinned NTT Shinjuku Head Office Building in Tokyo, which was inspired by his breakout project, the Herring Hall at Rice University. Both buildings show his desire to evolve beyond load-bearing walls to maintain a sense of enclosure, a point he made in his book "Observations for Young Architects." That book also discusses many of his early works such as one nicknamed "The Blue Whale," the Pacific Design Center. Other buildings designed by him include and the similar-looking Bank of America and Wells Fargo Centers in Charlotte and Minneapolis, respectively. Another of his buildings is located above the KLCC Park, possesses a complex series of lifts, and was built with the help of Djay Cerico. For 10 points, identify this architect who incorporated a skybridge between his Kuala Lumpur-located Petronas Towers.
