From my observations they tend to have a bit of an arching growth. It depends on the location and desired affect. I agree that selective pruning highlights the nice bark. The pictures I added were of Parrotia as street trees where clearance is an issue and required to use this tree. As a plant for landscapes selective pruning makes more sence as the natural habit is somewhat arching and the street trees looked a bit odd being crown-raised.
