The Renaissance Center symbolizes ambitions to revive Detroit in the 1970s. Today, it is the headquarters of General Motors.

The GM Wintergarden

The Renaissance Center faces the Detroit River with Canada on the other side :

Inside the complex, exhibits at GM World change every 90 days. Unfortunately, I arrived on the day of the changeover, but I still was able to snap these photos from above and around.

though this building is notoirus for its lack of interaction with the street or total disregard for it, it is pretty neat looking inside.

You do realize they just did a multi-million dollar renovation to reconnect it to the street, right?

Nice shots. I like the inside of the structure now but man they should lose that fake grass in GM World. That just looks really tacky.
