4/10. I don't really like that. It's a big ugly red box. The round porthole like things around the top are quite cool though.

Looks cool at night, but the materials look cheap at daylight.
The interior looks just like another mall again...
The roof's oké.

Wow, what a boring building, there is nothing on this building which makes me look at it again. The only redeeming quality is the interiour, but it still only gets a 4 from me.
