Here's a chance to show an interviewer that you have great observational skills as an engineer. By describing to the interviewer an interesting building in your city, you'll be showing them that you can assess structural systems just by looking at a building and without needing to look at plans or calculations. Having a good answer to this question shows that you're always trying to learn more as an engineer and can think critically on your own, without being guided to the right answer.
"I lived in Pittsburgh for over 10 years after college, and one of the most interesting buildings in the city is the old ALCOA headquarters. It was the first building in the world to be made entirely out of aluminum. The building has such a cool, sleek exterior finish. It looks very futuristic. Aluminum is definitely not the easiest material to build a skyscraper out of, but they made it work."
