this one I love .. . crisp angles and lots of balance in the base. . 8.5/10

7.5/10 - the tower has good height, and a nice slender shape. The facade is nice and sleek, though it might be a tad dull on a cloudy day, and that strip of pure glass racing up one side is quite effective.
The relationship between the parts is lively, especially that almost cathedral like section between the main tower and the street, though I wonder if it might be even better if the tower were centered on the base instead of rising up at one edge. And I am not sure about the top, especially since it seems to stop abruptly short except for that wimpy little antenna.

I like it. It fits in as the category "The ones I want in my backyard"

8/10

the design seems kind of weird with that lower tower attached...the taller portion looks good though and I like the semi arc at the top as well....overall...7.5/10

It looks nice from the angle in the third pic where the shorter part seems to be more in unisson with the rest of it, but from the other angles, especially where it's flat in the front like in the second pic... it looks a little funny. I like the top part with the disc though. 7.0/10

Very sleek, very fine. The shape probably out does the rest of the buildings features, followed by it's facade.

9/10

tall.. and i love the top, very nice..
but it looses points cos of the fat base...

The 1st & 4th pics posted possibly show this tower's truer greyish colouring (BTW I like the shorter golden colored tower next to it in both pics mentioned).

Interesting forms and it is certainly tall.

6.5/10

Cheap-looking. The horizontal array of windows make it look tiresome and the facade is dull. Its tall thats all.

And it looks like a complete ripoff of 311 South Wacker Drive Chicago.

Not that bad. . the top is a little interesting. . .7.5/10

Screw this thing. What the hell is that gold thing next to it? :cheers:

Interesting. Looks good. 8/10

To me, this building is a mix of other buildings. It has the massing of Chicago's 311 S Wacker, the style of the UOB Plaza in Singapore, and the banded facade of hundreds of buildings around the World. It just doesn't seem to be origional or outstanding in any way. With that said, it also isn't a terrible looking building, but it definitely isn't a great or memorable one.

6.5/10

I don't really like the top or the base, but the main part of the tower is good.

7/10

the top could look better 8/10

wow very nice building i give it 9/10;)

errmmm.... not bad

It is cool 7

8/10
It looks pretty good
I also like the gold tower next to it

I like it, especially near the top. 8/10.

Nothing special.just the top add a bit more.
7.5/10

hmm... i like this 7

Now I would like some certainty here. Is this tower grey/blue or beige/blue? I would DEFINITELY prefer the latter. :)

However, that precious little detail aside, I'm inclined towards a 6.0: nothing special.

8 A very crisp looking tower

Like a grave, but still worthwhile.

The top is interesting and overall it isn't so bad, but, this building isn't very original - which appears to have already been said earlier. 6.5.

This building is a stylistic mess. There's no rhyme or reason to its form, and surely was designed by an adolescent.

Bletch!



6/10

Looks like a LAMA!!!..Oh my god!!..How could that be!.....8/10!

The grey-blue cladding kinda reminds me of Menara Citibank in Kuala Lumpur.. The facade is very dull also..

7/10

This is highly dissapointing for a tower in china....and i gove it 6/10 for that....it looks like not much tot went into its design?

8

Ok - this ones not bad.

7

Not so bad, but isn't beautiful either. 7/10

too much different shapes 5/10

It has an erotic name.

8.5/10 ! :)

interesting 8/10

8.5/10


Interesting.

I was gonna say that the massing is similar to 311 South Wacker! Hmmm ... this one's okay ...

6.5/10

this building balances the azn postmodern style quite well. it's not too dull nor too wacky. but they should make the back side more interesting, and make the spire look less like a mere pole.

8.5

The proportions don't seem to match. The same counts for the shape; round, octagonal, rectangular, make a choice please. 4.5

7/10

Cool tower. 8.5

6/10 - Not my type...

Nice and tall, but there's something about it which feels really banal. It's trying to be different but it fails to offer anything new or innovative in its design.

8/10

I'm starting to get sick of green Chinese skyscrapers. I give it a 7/10.

6.5/10.

Reminds me of 311 S. Wacker in Chicago, but not as good. 5.

I don't like it, 6/10

5/10

This side of the tower is not bad but the other looks very boring

The shape is really messy, and the facade looks quite boring. Overall: 6/10

7/10 Slender, soars well.

9/10. Doesn't look as good when just seeing it at an angle which shows the flat facade.

8/10.

8.5/10 Its purty

Nice soaring tower, 8/10

4 / 10

a mindless, copycat work.

3/10

Not a sensible design in terms of efficient use of space and construction materials. Poor aesthetics.

nice :) 8/10

Oh, I got a photograph of this one:
http://ssc.singapenguin.net/05/050605_hung_cheung_plaza01.jpg

Honestly, it's a pretty sad looking building. Low quality cladding, oversized, bunker-like podium. It didn't look very well tenanted when I visited it. Of course it's just in front of the uber-luxurious Golden Business Centre, which doesn't help the poor building to fare better ^ ^
