Skyscrapers.com listing (http://www.emporis.com/en/wm/bu/?id=110732)
Notes:
The three buildings of Minster Court define a public space that opens onto Mincing Lane and forms an entrance and focus for the development. Beyond the sculptures at the entrance to the Court, a glazed roof shelters both the formal approach to the offices and the informal space of Minster Pavement with its lively bars and restaurants. The articulated facades and roof line of Minster Court combine to produce a building of animated and expressive forms.

Monkey November 18th, 2004, 12:19 AM 0/10 This is an abysmal building - one of the most embarrassing eyesores in London. Grotesque bad taste.
Munch November 18th, 2004, 12:33 AM One of the best contributions to london's dynamic skyline. It adds real depth and variety. Definitely one of my favorites and i sincerely appreciate the thought that was behind it.

Genç December 30th, 2004, 09:25 PM It's unique, but not really my kinda style. 3/10
AtlanticaC5 December 31st, 2004, 12:38 PM 6.5/10 Don't know what to think about it. Unique, that's a good word I guess
ferge January 1st, 2005, 04:08 PM Why the hell are those yellow blocks on it? make it look cheap (moreso, IMO)..
I'm sure if they wanted to copy the great architecture of by gone eras they could of achieved something a little more high class, this kinda insults it. Its okay, but .. nothing I'd give two looks at

I'm not quite sure
nukey January 28th, 2005, 01:12 PM I realy dont like Minster Court. It just so messy. If anyone can post a pic of the entrance they should, its like the leftovers of a months work in a glass factory being dumped into a pink castle keep.
superskyline April 3rd, 2005, 02:14 PM I LIKE THIS! Great materials, awesoem shape, and an amazing top!!
The only thing I dont like that much are the gold/yellow thingys they put on the top.....
9/10 anywho!
JDRS April 3rd, 2005, 04:28 PM I don't like Minster Court much.
