redstone January 22nd, 2005, 05:19 PM OUB!!!
It changes colour naturally throughout the day, so sleek... :cool:
Urban Girl January 22nd, 2005, 05:46 PM One Liberty Place!!
Cliff January 22nd, 2005, 06:00 PM OUB!!! How many skyscrapers on this planet can pull of 70% cladding, 30% glass so well?:D
Anyway, its a perfect geometric masterpiece which constantly changes its profile from every angle. Height does not matter, being the 2nd shortest amoung the 5, it still commands the most attention. A true Asian Skyscraper.
DamienK January 22nd, 2005, 06:05 PM OUB. It's simple and elegant. The way the windows are grouped and the shiny facade remind me of a microchip, same as with Tokyo City Hall. I visited this building in person last year and was impressed at how it looked from beneath.
james2390 January 23rd, 2005, 12:43 AM Liberty Place by far.
renell January 23rd, 2005, 12:49 AM Man this one's a very tough choice.. but I'm going for OUB because of its uniqueness, and cant forget i was lying down in Raffles Place staring up at it for 10 minutes :D
drwho January 23rd, 2005, 01:26 AM OUB-Singapore:)
btw anyone from Singapore-forum..please post Cliffs antview-pictures of OUB!:)
SUNNI January 23rd, 2005, 01:53 AM WTC seoul was always one of my favorites :)

DamienK January 23rd, 2005, 06:55 PM Apparently the One Liberty Place tower is quite admired - check out this Chinese proposal: Zhongtian International Mansion!

B@dGuYoM January 23rd, 2005, 08:27 PM Bank of america at seattle
AtlanticaC5 January 24th, 2005, 04:55 PM Really hard one, BoA in Seattle is awesome, OUB is really cool and so are KTC and One Liberty Place, but I'll go with US Bank Tower...;)
CborG January 24th, 2005, 07:57 PM One Liberty Place!
SanMiguel January 25th, 2005, 01:11 PM BOA in Seattle of course... so unique, i've never seen any other tower like this...
runner up: Liberty Place
Honestly OUB is not my fav 80's Skyscraper of Singapore. To me it is the IBM Tower...
but on this list it is my #3
#4: US Bank in LA
#5: KTC
.
TYW January 26th, 2005, 08:27 AM i'm going with OUB centre in Singapore;)
Liger Zero January 26th, 2005, 06:56 PM My vote is for Seattle's Bank of America Building. It's reminds me of my preference of females - sleek and curvy. One Liberty Place is a close second.
pwright1 January 28th, 2005, 03:52 AM My favorite is BoA in Seattle of course.

texasboy January 28th, 2005, 04:04 AM The architecture of BOA is crazy. It definitely looks like a scraper ahead of its time. That's for being built in the 80's.
rark January 28th, 2005, 03:59 PM of course its OUB! its so elegant and its truly beautiful!
OWNAGE!
nicholasliha January 28th, 2005, 10:36 PM kenzo tange.
and the mythic proportions of the OUB being asia's tallest construction at its time of arrival.
giergel January 29th, 2005, 06:22 PM Definatly the One Liberty Place tower!
DamienK January 29th, 2005, 09:02 PM I'm surprised the US Bank Tower is in last place. I thought it would have been more popular.
Vlad the Great January 30th, 2005, 04:25 AM 1 Liberty Place Philadephia! :)
Trances January 30th, 2005, 06:46 AM always OUB Centre, Singapore
Joe84323 January 31st, 2005, 07:04 AM LIBERTY ONE CC Philly BABY!!!!
It could be a tad skinnier or a tad taller tho. Love the Bank of America bldg. in Seattle, too.. but it is a killer for those OCD people who need symmetry in a building.
wanderer34 June 21st, 2005, 12:15 AM One Liberty Place!!! How does a boxy looking, generic Bank of America get more votes than the uniquely designed One Liberty Place???? Simply boggles my mind!!!
*Sweetkisses* June 21st, 2005, 01:47 AM Liberty Place, who else?
i_am_hydrogen June 21st, 2005, 02:24 AM Liberty Place!!!
System_Halted July 21st, 2005, 08:33 PM Horay! I voted for my fav. 80's scraper even the competition is ended :D (Won't tell it, otherwise you will delete it ;) )
You forgot to lock the thread, so do it now :lock:
Intoxication November 1st, 2005, 08:48 PM KTC (World Trade Center), Seoul
Gendo November 1st, 2005, 11:30 PM That's a hard one to decide on. I've been inside BOA Seattle, and One liberty Place in Philly. I love them both plus the US Bank Tower in L.A.
Manila-X November 2nd, 2005, 05:25 AM Why is the Bank Of China in Hong Kong not in here? Anyway, I vote for US Bank Tower in Los Angeles :)
Phenomenal Fullerton November 2nd, 2005, 08:39 AM US Bank Tower - LA.
Followed by OUB, Singapore.
Personally, I don't understand why the Seattle scraper is in this vote, or the Seoul one for that matter, and Philly's tower just appears to be a modern translation - and a cheap imitation - of the Chrysler. But hey, that's just IMHO!
mr_storms December 4th, 2005, 11:17 PM BoA Seattle Followed Closely By Us Bank
superskyline December 5th, 2005, 02:04 AM One Liberty Place, Philadelphia :)
it is one of my FAVORITE skyscraper, hence the avatar ;)
BoA Seattle is another of my favorites though, so it would be my choice for runner up
Manila-X December 14th, 2005, 07:25 AM Definitely US Bank Tower! It's the King of them all :)
empersouf December 14th, 2005, 03:46 PM BoA is cool, just like the OLP. But US Bank tower rocks!!
Justadude December 26th, 2005, 11:35 PM I admire Seattle's BoA and the others on the list, but I think One Liberty will have the longest-lasting appeal. It puts a modern twist on classic form that will never go out of style.
Jules January 22nd, 2006, 01:11 AM 1 Liberty Place.
LordMarshall January 22nd, 2006, 04:09 AM KTC World Trade Center
La sombra.. January 28th, 2006, 06:15 AM KTC, waooooooooooooooooooooooooo :eek2: :eek2: :eek2: :cheers:
ZimasterX January 28th, 2006, 06:34 AM Theres something about the US Bank Tower that I just like, so I choose it.
NiceGuy January 28th, 2006, 02:36 PM One Liberty Place, without doubt.
VanSeaPor February 4th, 2006, 03:41 AM All are nice but the BoA is best, followed by Liberty Place, OUB, Library Tower, KTL.
