I remember making a thread like this, already....
Must have been deleted along with my Philam Life thread.

Anyways....9/10

What the helipads don't light up anymore?? That sucks! The helipads are what makes these buildings look so nice at night.

Yes, it is in Taguig. Not Makati. but very near Makati, only 5 mins drive.

January 22nd, 2003, 05:36 PM

yeah, most of the Makati scrapers with helipad (LKG, Roxas Triangle) isnt lighted up anymore.

That sucks. LKG, Roxas Triangle and Pacific Towers have the funkiest helipad lighting!! how could they switch them off??

I fail to see what's so special about these towers. They look fairly ordinary to me. Why all the high votes?

I'd give them 6/10.

Balikbayan

November 28th, 2004, 06:07 PM

I give them 9/10. For Messiah - they are not in the middle of nowhere they are in the heart of the development zone named Bonifacio Global City. This used to be a vast military camp right at the edge of Makati on tho other side of the Edsa. In the years to come it will be a new part of Makati/Metro Manila the size of Boston, Mass. Quite some VINEX project......

look fairly ordinary? what's so ordinary? the curved-shape? the color? the height? Glassy? anyway, it's your opinion. For us these towers are beautiful. I'll give 9.5/10

i forgot what's the shape of each tower again. would someone remind? i guess it was sine and cosine wave. i know you all know what are the graphs of sine and cosine waves. :D so that makes them not exactly identical. the top light up every weekends from 6 pm to midnight!

errrr, sine and cosine waves of the same parameters (frequency, amplitude, etc.) would be identical except one is displaced by a radian measure along the same axis. :crazy: I think we could just simply say that the shape was inspired by ocean waves... :runaway: but to be related to trigo-functions, they are shaped like waves of different amplitude and frequency.... :scouserd: (based on the photos.... hehehe)
