6/10 - THis one has some interesting forms, and the facade looks like it might dance with the light, though I can't tell from the pictures, which seem to have been taken on a cloudy day. And there is some nice contrast between glass and stone.

But the forms don't flow harmoniously together; instead, they seem to have been slapped together just any ol' way. The overall effect is jarring, and it really detracts from the building's height. That skywalk and the suspension bridge affair above it are especially awkward, IMHO...
And that little spire with the three dishes looks SO much like something straight out of the Jetsons cartoons...

:D

too goofy . . i dont like that half suspension bridge either .. . 5/10

Cool! I've never seen this one before. Very interesting design. I like it! 8.5/10 :)

I particularly like that bridge design. Makes it very original.

8/10

not a thrilling concept....the model looks better!...LOL!!...5/10

The skybridge is probably the best part of the structure, better than the building. The taller tower needs more angles.

6/10

interesting design.. but the skybridge and its colour ruins it..

Nice curved green glass with "featurettes" on both the taller and lower structures.

However what are the goofy spires and skybridge with half a suspension bridge feature :? .

Also that strange yet unique mesh on its crown....hmmmm; I guess it's endearing (if that is an apt word for it).

The lower floors with the vertical trusses look more like a multi-storey carpark (maybe they are) :? :? :? .....

...and yes, the model definitely looks better!!

6/10

This building looks rather clumsy and the colouring isnt very nice either. Rather factory-like.

Fairly good but I don't like that spire.

7.5/10

wat a awesome building....
9/10;)

The way the lowest is connected to the heighrest part is very impressive

8.5/10

very special

less than 5 ...

its an interesting design but i dont like it. 5.5

Skyscrapers were never meant to have sex with each other. The would stone this skyscraper if it was in KAbul.

:rotf:

Tony, you have a vivid imagination! :lol:

I give it a 5/10.

Hmmm...pretty hard to give it a mark. I think I will give it a 6,5.

I kinda like the smaller tower - the big one is just ok 6/10

Too dark.It haves got a lot of detail.So it's a....hmm

7.0/10

RafflesCity: Isn't this the 103rd tallest building... not 101st?

3 I would have liked this building if it was merely the taller tower... but that half suspension bridge thing is just too ridiculous! it ruins it!

I don't know about this. The bridge in the middle is interesting but the whole design doesn't seem coherent as Liz L said. 5.5/10.

5.5/10

I tot I saw a mini suspension bridge? :) Oh well...6.5/10.

Not so good...6.5/10

i like it, 10

????? Looks like one building is givng the other building :cheers:

5.5 - PRC

daring 7/10

6, don't like the galass.

5/10

The architect was drunk when he create this thing but it gets a 7,5/10 for its orginality.

6.5/10 :)
I like the sky bridge and the way the 2 different parts of the building connect, but I find the colour unpleasent.

facade: cool
form: cool
points: 8

I like the design
8.5/10

Massive but interesting building
8/10

Another mishmash of good and awful aspects; awful being the suspension bridge of course. In fact the whole lower tower isn't contributing anything positive to the design.
The top of the large tower is not bad at all. An installed airconditioning would also be benificial to the appearance of this building......:D

4.5/10

Many good ideas done the wrong way. Not to my taste.

5/10

9.5/10

awesome

not too bad, but some of the setbacks on the big tower is weird.

7

For a Chinese tower it's ok. 6.0

Not to my taste, and NO WAY does it look 240m. Looks much shorter.

6/10

9.0, I like this building.

8/10

A mishmash. 6/10.

6.5

Yeah it seems alot shorter than what it actually is from the pictures. The tallest bldg downtown here in Detroit seems significantly taller than this one but falls 20 or so meters short. It's kinda busy but I like the complex overall. I dont usually like idea of skybridges either but the cables actually give it a nice touch..... visually connects the two structures better. Not bad.

6.5/10.

8/10 nice glass

Unique, but in a not-so-good way. I give it a 6/10. :(

Wow, the suspension bridge gives it a medieval touch ^^
That's rather funny for an otherwise futuristic looking skyscraper :-)
Nice cladding, and the spire is cool ^^

8.5/10 Unique!

Nasty. 4.

The skybridge is too weird.

Pretty good, 7/10

7/10

The tower is alright. Good colors, futuristic looking, a little fat. but they had to go and muck it up with the godawful antenna contraption. the suspension bridge on the side was a facinating addition. but doesn't save it.

5/10

It looks lower than it is. 7.5/10

glue a bunch of plagiarized pieces together using the cheapest possible construction materials - that's how most chinese "architects"/bureaucrats "design" buildings.

Very nice comtemporary design 9.5/10

i do not like the color of it!

Is different, but I don't like it very much. 6.5

A tasteless combination of copied, incoherent components from top to bottom. And the color sucks.

from one angle it looks nice but thats not enough 5/10

like the green glass

8/10

It's nice, I think it would be nicer as an all cylinder tower, and without the bridge.

6.5/10

beautiful!
however, those chinese letters make him look cheap

Not bad, a 7 out of 10.
