Today's ArchiPic is the Frost Bank Tower in Austin, Texas. It has 33 floors and is Austin's third largest building. Designed by Duda/Paine Architects, it was opened in 2004 and was, apparently, the first high-rise building to be made after the 9/11 attacks. It is one of the most unique buildings in Austin and most adored because of its intricate design. The main part of the building is made from a blue low-e glass skin. The low-e glass skin is thicker than normal glass, and it spreads across the tower as a whole.
