mainly because, I'm a sucker for SHINY tall GLASS buildings and it is the most modern-looking of all.

Singapore's marina bay looks very futuristic and I like it a lot. Though I wish it could have been a little taller. Vietnam's new supertall (don't know its name) is the one skyscraper in ASEAN I'm waiting to see to be complete. I do hope the other ASEAN country get their first supertall as Malaysia and Vietnam cities does.

Interestingly, KL currently has 2 to 4 supertalls on the drawing board. About 2 of them are expected to be taller than PTT.

I do like all the buildings below, except for wisma 46 which I think is quite a normal building. PTT, Sands, The Sail, Bakrie, The Met and GT have set new standards for skyscrapers in ASEAN. Congrats!

I vote for Wisma 46.
The building is quite uniqe and one of Jakarta's landmark
Other buildings such as Twin Tower, Bay Sands, The Sail, Bakrie Tower, The Met & GT Int also exciting,.

SingaporeCity
July 6th, 2010, 12:08 PM
Yes I think there are nicer skyscrapers than some that are in the poll. However maybe because the skyscraper in Saigon isn't completed yet. Some completed skyscrapers that I think are worth mentioning and considering are listed below.

1) Empire Tower, Bangkok
2) One Raffles Quay, Singapore
3) PBCom Tower, Manila
4) Republic Plaza, Singapore
5) Menara Telekom, KL
6) The Troika, KL
7) The Orchard Residences, Singapore

and many more, just too hard to choose!

:) How about this one, Reflections at Keppel Bay (by Daniel Libeskind). It's been under construction for a long time though. And not much interest from the public as it is not selling well. Nevertheless, still one of my favourites.

Bakrie tower is the most eye-catching among those buildings.
Petronas is the tallest and of course the most popular - but that's it. I don't find it outstanding.
Marina is the newest, unique, but personally, it's not my type of beauty.
GT, The Met, Wisma 46 - usual n common buildings.

Reflection (Singapore) and Regatta (Jakarta) will be the future stunners when completed. Both r futuristic and beautiful.

patchay
July 7th, 2010, 05:27 AM
I believe Petronas was superbly outstanding 10 years ago, maybe less today due to newer skyscrapers like Sands and Bakrie.

Still, it remained a world-class icon and a corporate icon around the world. From advertisements to print media. The frontpage of the upcoming 18th World Congress of Accountants 2010 featured the Twin Towers again.

July 7th, 2010, 06:26 AM
It is still outstanding :) and is very impressive that even after 12 years, it is still an icon in South East Asia. But of course newer additions are just getting as great too. Too bad we have height limits here in SG, if not I believe the newer buildings would have been taller. Sands is a very good example how short buildings can look just as great. I believe in 10 years time, we'll have a new generation of super nice buildings.

Haha, I can't decide too, but IMO petronas twin tower, marina bay sands, the sail, bakrie tower and gt international tower are the confirmed 5 in the list.

Actually i would suggest putting the poll in another sub forum like architecture. There are many similar polls from different parts of the world in the forum. http://www.skyscrapercity.com/forumdisplay.php?f=4

1) Traffic might be higher, non Asean citizens will vote too. As you can see, from the replies here, most are from our fellow Asean mates.
2) Unfair result as most of us here will tend to vote for a skyscraper from our city. So it doesn't show which skyscraper is more well liked by all.
3) Global audience so people will know there are many good quality skyscrapers up to international standard from Asean. More exposure of skyscrapers from Asean. Example Marina Bay Sands cost USD 5.7 Billion to build, almost 4 times more costly than the world tallest skyscraper Burj Khalifa at USD 1.5 Billion. But not many people know it exists.

Just my 2 cents suggestion. =)

Actually I'm not too sure whether there will be higher viewership/traffic at that forum. I wouldn't want to see a thread not visited by many and become dead eventually. Maybe we can get opinions from our fellow Asean mates before really posting, also to see what skyscrapers they would suggest to add if you really intend to create a new poll :) However choosing the remaining the skyscrapers will be difficult as there are many great skyscrapers. Hard to decide!
