The far right was originally part of Allen Center (number 4 I believe?) and then taken over by Enron. Enron was building the Pelli designed tower when the collapse happened if I'm not mistaken, and obviously Chevron came in and took over the properties. Agreed, those are some great looking towers.

The current Chevron towers are your two favorite buildings in Texas?

It was designed to have a lot of space hence the design basically being a box with the corners rounded off (Boxes maximize the most floor area, but they rounded the corners to mimic the rounded edges of the other two towers..) That rendering is terrible and is what looks like was designed by an 8 year old. If you saw the close ups of the podium you wouldn't be saying that about the tower...

The Enron Towers are my favorite. I've actually mentioned it more than once .

It's an uninspiring box. The podium is nice but the building is still meh.
