[6] The towers resemble Yamasaki's iconic work, the original World Trade Center in New York City, with their twin configuration, vertical black and gray lines, and aluminum exteriors.

Their prominence in the Century City skyline has been reduced in recent years with the addition of new skyscrapers that partially block their view.

The towers have also served as the backdrop for several television commercials, including adverts for Samsung, Buick, Volvo, and Kia Motors.

In film, the towers were featured in 1988's Die Hard (shown at the end credits),[11] 1990's Death Warrant, and 2011's The Green Hornet.

The base of the towers stood in for the Yamasaki-designed World Trade Center in the 1981 film Escape from New York starring Kurt Russell.
