@mattblaze In the world of more-than-utilitarian communications towers, my favorite is the Telefonica tower designed by Calatrava and built for the Barcelona 1992 Olympics. It doubles as a sundial, projecting the hour as a shadow on the plaza below.

Montjuic Communications Tower is in Barcelona, Spain and was designed by the valencian architect Santiago Calatrava for the Barcelona Olympic Games in 1992. [wikipedia]
