The [[Kansas City Power and Light Building|Power and Light Building]] is influenced by the [[Art Deco]] style and sports a glowing sky beacon. The new world headquarters of [[H&R Block]] is a 20-story all-glass oval bathed in a soft green light. The four industrial artworks atop the support towers of the Kansas City Convention Center ([[Bartle Hall Convention Center|Bartle Hall]]) were once the subject of ridicule, but now define the night skyline near the [[T-Mobile Center]] along with [[One Kansas City Place]] (Missouri's tallest office tower), the [[KCTV-Tower]] (Missouri's tallest freestanding structure) and the [[Liberty Memorial]], a World War I memorial and museum that flaunts simulated flames and smoke billowing into the night skyline. It was designated as the [[National World War I Museum and Memorial]] in 2004 by the United States Congress. Kansas City is home to significant national and international architecture firms including ACI Boland, [[BNIM]], [[360 Architecture]], [[HNTB]], [[Populous (architects)|Populous]].
