What makes a building "iconic?"

@Allie_Weiss: In honor of Richard Meier's birthday—a clearly defined material palette.

@thisisheatherc: Iconic designs = forms that reflect and comment on their time and location.

@BlankSpaceNYC: The most iconic buildings tell stories. They aren't static objects, they engage surroundings and inhabitants in powerful ways.
