250gto November 21st, 2002, 04:02 PM Yup, he was not too good at this "tall" thing. The forms are not so bad. But the materials, the proportions, the details...not good. FLW doing a skyscraper just doesn't even sound right.

SteelCity32 November 21st, 2002, 09:09 PM looks pretty cool. Why didn't they make this one taller?
6/10
Caledon1981 November 21st, 2002, 09:33 PM this was more of a test for him in form and design .. . this tower is in a city of only about 30,000!!
Fabian November 22nd, 2002, 08:47 AM The design doesn't impress me 5/10.

It looks ugly closeup but the effect it has from a distance seems effective.
De Snor November 22nd, 2002, 11:08 PM I ve seen much better from that time
AG November 23rd, 2002, 12:48 PM Very good with the huge amount of angles it has, and it's shape. The facade is too plain though.
7/10
Lars November 23rd, 2002, 01:34 PM Bah, not so nice! 6/10
Sunflower November 23rd, 2002, 10:51 PM Wasn't this building declared unsafe? I heard it's just used for storage now.
TYW November 24th, 2002, 10:33 AM 7/10
it's OK;)
Jeff from Winnipeg December 15th, 2002, 07:28 AM It does have some interesting features to ponder over and some nice textures. I mean, even the spire is textured! Because of its unboringness-> 8/10
DrumCorpsAlum February 23rd, 2003, 05:35 AM Interesting. The farther away you get from it, the more modern and newer it looks, but as you get close, looks like it needs a good bath. Neat design though. 8/10.

3.5/10
bay_area March 22nd, 2003, 12:01 AM This Building is nice IMO. I dont look at how it looks but how it was meant to look.
X-seed 4000 March 22nd, 2003, 03:27 AM Its not your average looking building, but it doesn't impress me too much. 6.0/10
Chibcha2k March 22nd, 2003, 09:20 PM i like its details... its cool, wish we had something like that arround here...
Evergrey April 8th, 2003, 05:14 PM 3/10 This building is a disaster. No wonder he stayed away from scrapers!
de flatneuroot September 10th, 2003, 05:22 PM A 9,5 for this nice building.
Lmichigan September 10th, 2003, 11:27 PM This building is so unique, in a good way. It was ahead of it's time, and offers no boring angles. The materials are interesting, and it's not a boring box.
I give it an 8 for creativity.
renell September 11th, 2003, 07:32 PM 7/10
well it is built in '56... during the box era. not bad for it's era
Javier September 19th, 2003, 01:53 AM he is my master, so i give to him 10/10
for the building 9/10
Fabio November 16th, 2003, 01:55 AM 5/10
I don't like it :ohno:
airsickpenthousedweller November 16th, 2003, 02:43 AM Evidently designed with care and vision.
It still looks fresh and original in an unforced and logical manner......stylish !
9/10
james2390 August 23rd, 2004, 07:52 AM The overall concept is amazing, especially for its time. But the facade and the colors are kind of scary, I'll be really nice and give it a 8/10.
SeeMacau August 25th, 2004, 06:06 AM Cool design .. 8/10
