Which buildings do u think have the ugliest, stupidest, lamest names?

The Freedom Tower

The Freedom Tower

lmao

it is a little cheesy

wrong forum,should be in skyscrapers and architecture

but in my opinon it has to be freedom tower

Elephant and Freedom Tower

I would also have to say the freedom tower. It's not a little cheesy...it's very cheesy.

Agreed. The Freedom Tower takes the Cheesy award of 2005. It's kind of like the people who think their patriotic because they have 4 American flags flying from the 4 windows of their car.

I agree, Freedom Tower for sure.

Freedom Tower--worse than cheesey, it's damn embarassing!

sigh - all you ppl are hateful and narrow-minded...can u even imagine how much freedom and democracy you will feel when witnessing the building? i mean, the statue of liberty will be jealous how much freedom the new tower spreads!

;)

I know! They should have called it Liberty Tower.

Freedom Tower: Just a stupid name.

Al Burj: From what I know of Arabic burj=tower and al=the, thus they named it "The Tower" how lame is that?

Taipei 101: Why didn't they just leave it as Taipei Financial Center?

And I'll throw in all those 900ft (300m)+ towers in chicago that have no name, just addresses. Such as 233 S. Wacker, 900 N michigan

Freedom Tower .. lol

Freedom Tower......cheezy but you'll get use to it. At least it means something.

Sears Tower...Name of a dept. store that used to own it.

CN Tower....Name of a railroad company that used to own it.

Taipei 101....Cheeze Whiz!

2IFC......Very original for such a marvelous building. Only a rocket scientist thought of that one.

Union Square 7.....Just hoping it actually gets a real name.


The list can go on and on. Is all in a name and we all will get used to it.

Come to think of it "Freedom Tower" doesn't sound so bad.

Freedom is very cheesy and ironic, especially when the only group of people who tends to deprive others of their freedom and sovereignty are the Americans themselves.

lol Freedom tower IS terrible.

Ill build Hope Centre, and Liberty Plaza... lol. I could continue but i wont.

al Burj is a bit stupid when you translate it lol. "Burj' is fine for people who dont speak the language. But really...

Burj Dubai could equal 'Tower New York"
Burj Al Arab.... Tower The Arab?

yeah, burj al arab is lame for arabic ppl. but for those who dont speak the language, the name is slick.

Freedom Tower :dunno:
At least they didn't call it the "Patriotic Tower", or the "United we Stand Tower.

or the "Bring it on Tower", as some critics have dubbed it.

I think the grammar is different in Arabic, so it would probably mean Dubai Tower, not Tower the Dubai, or the Arab Tower.

I don't love the name Freedom Tower (or the design, for that matter).

wait a min..are you talking about this "Freedom tower"?

http://www.louisville.cc/news/images/freedom-tower.jpg

^ C'mon now, that's just poor taste. Never post it again, please.

Freedom Tower is by far the cheesiest name though. :)

I think the tower complex will wreck the New York skyline.

yeah, burj al arab is lame for arabic ppl. but for those who dont speak the language, the name is slick.

oh yeah, can you tell me why it is a lame for us?!!

I think the grammar is different in Arabic, so it would probably mean Dubai Tower, not Tower the Dubai, or the Arab Tower.



absolutely right :)

Which buildings do u think have the ugliest, stupidest, lamest names?

Tall tower or short tower

Freedom Tower, it is so typically American. Embarrasing is the word!

wait a min..are you talking about this "Freedom tower"?

http://www.louisville.cc/news/images/freedom-tower.jpg


What are you doing?
do'not post that kind of shit!

wait a min..are you talking about this "Freedom tower"?

http://www.louisville.cc/news/images/freedom-tower.jpg
That's fucking horrible man.

What's so bad about Freedom Tower? I think it's great. The U.S.A is the leader of the free world, so why the hell not? Atleast it stands for something... something one can be proud of... something one can relate to... something some may desire even more where they may be less fortunate and not have the freedoms the "free world" does.

Tall tower or short tower

any, doenst matter

oh yeah, can you tell me why it is a lame for us?!!

well, i dont know..."Tower of the Arabs" - hmmm, sounds lame to me...


And dont post those plane crashing pics on this thread - not very funny.

About the freedom tower, there are many other countries with freedom taht dont name their buildings that. kinda lame how the US is "patriotic crazy" with freedom fries, freedom tower, Operation Iraqi Freedom, etc etc...argh....

Saudi Pak Tower lol what type of name is that

wait a min..are you talking about this "Freedom tower"?

http://www.louisville.cc/news/images/freedom-tower.jpg


BS :bash: :bash: :bash: :weird:.

BAN ALONSO that was in poor taste, and made me feel physically sick. the freedom tower is a crap name for an ugly building, but IS a memorial to all the lives lost in 911, and that is completely tasteless.

I think dubai has the biggest problems with names, because they build too many buildings and have run out.

Taipei 101 could be more original... and Freedom/Liberty tower is not bad at all... is like the statue.

I'm surprised that this thread hasn't been deleted already, with all the negativity going around.

They could call it "E Pluribus Unum" Tower or the "New York Tower". I also think Freedom Tower is cheesy and corny. Too much cheese and corn ...

The new "euroborg stadium" in holland takes some beating.

http://www.architecture.com/imageLibrary/jpeg330/5848.jpg

the EMPRESS STATE BUILDING nr where i live in london, the most blatant ripoff of a skyscraper name ive ever seen. Trying to make up for all the town and city names they've stolen.

c'mon guys, I really didn't want to insult anybody. I just didn't have a clue, which freedom tower you are talking about. so I entered this name in google's image search and this pic was one of the first. didn't expect it will cause such a reaction.

whatever, if it is a reasonable reason for banning - BAN ME.

The U.S.A is the leader of the free world, so why the hell not?
Well, that depends how you define "free". USA is a corrupted country with a corrupted and shitty government IMO. Their definition of "freedom" and "freeing a country" is sometimes to bomb it to the stone age. That is not what i call freedom. And, it is a cheesy and corny name, still.

- Princess Tower, maybe it will become the Queen Tower someday :|
- Eureka Tower, I just don't like it (eureka! the eureka tower has topped out!)
- Diamond of Instanbul, now THAT is cheesy
- The Arch, blah
- Cosco Tower I actually like this one, it's kinda funny
- Torre Mayor which means Bigger Tower or Older Tower

Edifício Karol Wojtyla, Curitiba, 27 storeys... Would have been better to call it Ed. João Paulo, sounds better!

Don't make outlandish accusations about the US government when your only basis is the news you watch on TV about Iraq.

this thread is not about "shitty" govt's or politics, but shitty names for buildings. lets keep it that way. :)

wait a min..are you talking about this "Freedom tower"?

http://www.louisville.cc/news/images/freedom-tower.jpg

:lol: Very nice!

Odd building names in Antwerpen (Antwerp):
- Antwerp Tower;
- Boerentoren (Farmers' Tower);
- The skyscrapers at Linkeroever (left bank of the Schelde) that have just adresses as name, one of them is named 'Chicago Block';
- We also have the 'Canada Blocks'.

Oostende (Ostend):
- Mast.

Brussels:
- Block 65 (U/C);
- Financiëntoren (Finance Tower);
- Zuidertoren (South Tower) (but there is no North Tower in Brussels).

Rotterdam:
- Witte de With;
- Splinter;
- Hoge Heren (High Lords);
- Toren op Zuid (Tower on South);
- Hoge Maas (High Meuse).

Amsterdam:
- Overhoeks;
- Oval Tower;
- Entree;
- Oliphant (Elephant, wrongly written);
- Europeesche (European, written in medieval Dutch);
- Margriet (Margareth).

Den Haag (The Hague):
- Witte Anna (White Anna);
- Struyck (Bush in medieval Dutch).

Don't make outlandish accusations about the US government when your only basis is the news you watch on TV about Iraq.
I make whatever accusations I want. You don't have to read them.

As someone else wrote - back to the thread's original topic.

If you think about it, Empire State building is a pretty lame name for a building. It just used the state's nickname to name the building. It would be like calling a tall sky scraper the Orange State Building, the Land of Lincoln State building, or something along those lines.

yeah this is why i believe the empress state building (london next to earls court)is especially lame, its taken a world famous name that is already shit, and tweaked it to fit its tiny size and unimpressive nature.

Freedom Tower (it should be Liberty Tower)
Boise Tower (why name it after the city?)

c'mon guys, I really didn't want to insult anybody. I just didn't have a clue, which freedom tower you are talking about. so I entered this name in google's image search and this pic was one of the first. didn't expect it will cause such a reaction.

DERR!!

DERR!!

he? what do you mean with this savage scream?

And I'll throw in all those 900ft (300m)+ towers in chicago that have no name, just addresses. Such as 233 S. Wacker, 900 N michigan

Very true. BTW, it's 311 S. Wacker that is the tallest building in the world to only go by it's address. Can you blame them though. Being right across the street from the Sears Tower, they could've named it F***ing Awesome Tower and people still wouldn't notice it.

Whoops, my bad, I was thinking about 311 South. 233 S Wacker, being the address of the Sears Tower, already has a named building.

Too many numbers in my head...

"The Centre" in Hong Kong (346 metres) gets my vote. Talk about unimaginative. It's not even a name, any more than "The Building" is a name.

http://www.geocities.com/hkmidlevels/20030311/RIMG1293.JPG

Come to think of it "The Tower" in Dubai (243m) is just as bad

http://www.thehighrisepages.de/hhkartei/dubtower.jpg

A new development in Miami: "Wind by Neo" sounds like a sequal to the Matrix. Neo comes from the name of the developer NeoConcepts.

the freedom tower is beggin to be hit by a plane. Its a big glass wall with the name freedom. What more could a terrorist want?

I can imagine the news stories already..."the terrorist have destroyed freedom"

NYC wasn't even original with the name, we've had a building in Miami called the "Freedom Tower" for years and the name never bothered anyone.

Miami's Freedom Tower
http://www.emporis.com/en/wm/bu/?id=122303

The Freedom Tower is definitely pathetic.

The name Freedom Tower is so generic and uninspiring. The whole handling of the situation surrounding the reconstruction and memorial sucks. Oh well...

The World Trade Center was a great name. They should reuse it again.

Sears Tower...Name of a dept. store that used to own it.

Naw. When you separate the name Sears from the chain of stores and just think of it as a name, it's pretty awesome.

SEARS TOWER

Wing On Life Building, Singapore
Thankfully now changed name to AXA Life....

Wing On is actually in a Chinese dialect... I think it means Forever Peace...

Well, a new tower in Dubai has been named after a pornstar. It's called Tiffany Tower :tongue4:

I know! They should have called it Liberty Tower.
Why is Liberty Tower different from Freedom Tower? For me as a non-native English speaker it seems so similar... :?

- Torre Mayor which means Bigger Tower or Older Tower
I think it was named like that in honor of the principal Aztec temple in Tenochtitlan (the Aztec capital) which is known as the "Templo Mayor."

Now, if you want pathetic lame names you have the Freedom Tower, and the Burj Dubai.

I think it means Dubai Tower or something in Arabic. Still a pretty stupid name for what looks like a 2000+ foot penis. They should call it Dubai Manhood. Because if the Middle East had a dick, this would be it.

And these would be the nuts.

I don't know where the problem is. LIberty Tower is such a nice idea. Or Freedom Tower. Who doesn't want freedom and liberty? Everyone wants to live in freedom, and for many many people, the USA mean exactly this. There are people from all over the world looking for freedom in the USA. They risk their lives to reach the USA searching freedom. So, it cannot be that wrong to build it in one of the most liberal and free cities oin the world!

That's the Smufit Stone Building, formerly the Stone Container Building.

I agree with you :)

Yep. Me too.

Well, a new tower in Dubai has been named after a pornstar. It's called Tiffany Tower :tongue4:


Is that true? :eek2:

wait a min..are you talking about this "Freedom tower"?

http://www.louisville.cc/news/images/freedom-tower.jpg

I wonder why glass would be spewing out cement...
And why would glass be burning like that.

dubai has such stupid names sometimes, just have a look in the UAE forum.
Such as tiffany tower... google it in the web please :D
or... Al Burj = the tower, funny thing, there is already a tower known as "the tower" in english, though its actual name is UP Tower.
or.. 23 marina.
or all the JBR towers, they are called D01-03 or A02-03 lol.
and... for the football fans,... chelsea tower
or .. 21st century tower....tallest res tower in the world.
and there are at least 10 towers in JLT with the most crappiest names i have ever seen. Dubai Arch tower
or New Dubai Gate and New Dubai Gate 2
or the Icon towers.
or Dubai Star...
you see, a lot of crappy names around in dubai.

The name "Freedom Tower" was brought up by NY Governor George Pataki, not Daniel Libeskind as some claim it.

I wonder why glass would be spewing out cement...
And why would glass be burning like that.

Perhaps because it isn't actually real ;).

I thought it was quite funny to be honest, but whatever.

Freedom Tower has to take the award for worst name recently. Although Dubai have many with names nearly as poor. All though I really like the word 'burj' so if I pretend I don't know what the names actually mean they're still quite good :cheers:. Also Eureka tower, I just hate that name!. :bash:

Tower 42.

London's Swiss Re is Dildo Tower then...

The Ageon Center is widely known as "The Big Penis Building" in relation to giving downtown directions.
And the Roban Roll-on Deodorant Tower. :lol:

^That isn't a penis. Torre Agbar, not THAT'S a skyscraper penis (skynis).

http://www.donquijote.org/album/photos/album/barcelona_el_torre_agbar.jpg

One thing I can't forget about the name "Freedom Tower" was that Pataki chose that name when freedom hardly had anything to do with selecting it.

^^Well, some of the international architects are obviously gay...! ^^

Its been said before, but the Freedom tower definitely has the most corniest name out there. If it was called Liberty Tower, it would actually be much better, but since the word 'freedom' has been overrated in the past couple of years, I really despise its name. If we gather together and call it something else, maybe the power of word of mouth could change everything!

Freedom tower is the worst... and dumbest name of them all. By symbolically demonstrating resilience through a tower named "Freedom Tower", it gives terrorists even more of a reason to attack it since its a show of American freedom and resilience. God forbid it were to happen, but how aweful would an attack on "Freedom Tower" be? It was bad enough they attacked a symbol of economic might, now what if they attack a symbol of our freedoms?

Plus the design is bad... I wish the developers would have built two towers... thatd have been really nice.

So we allow murder scum to dictate what we call our towers?

It is like blaming a woman who wears a mini-skirt for being raped. She only just made herself more enticing, it really was her fault. :|

did it ever occur to you that naming this symbolic building the freedom tower could be seen as provocative by some?

the new wtc will always be in danger of another attack in the future - it is now more iconic and symbolic than the old wtc ever was. with a stupid name like freedom tower it would be an even better target.

"did a dingo eat your baby?"

No, i ate it.

And yes, it was delicious.

It's official, Dubai will have 'The Skyscraper'.

How about World Trade Centre and World Financial Centre? There are dozens such buildings throughout the world. This becomes ridiculous!

Freedom Tower - Just damn straight cheesy.
Elephant Building - Um...ok.
Eureka Tower - Could be a bit more imaginative.

"THEhotel" in Las Vegas.

Freedom Tower...Just a little too politically motivated for my liking, (otherwise it is just fairly bland)

I think "Taipei 101" is more catchy than many

"The Freedom Tower" is pathetic, so are "The Centre", "The Tower", "The Skyscraper", etc.

I hope they name "Dubai Towers Istanbul" as something else :bash:

c'mon guys, I really didn't want to insult anybody. I just didn't have a clue, which freedom tower you are talking about. so I entered this name in google's image search and this pic was one of the first. didn't expect it will cause such a reaction.

whatever, if it is a reasonable reason for banning - BAN ME.

what the fuck kind of excuse is that? the lamest excuse ever, unless you actually are that thick headed and stupid to think that posting that pic won't offend anyone.

Why dont you use your brain and delete the pic from your post?

They recently just announced a new one in Vegas called "THEplace". It's a condo tower and will look just like THEhotel and be next door.

for me "Al Burj" is a very Pathetic name.

But "Al Burj" is nothing than "The Tower". There are at least some 100,000 "The Tower"s in the whole world!!! As pathetic is "skyresidence"... No building will ever reach the skies, so it is veeeery pathetic!

London's Swiss Re is Dildo Tower then...

Aww, looks like someone is jealous that the best tower in Europe is outside Frankfurt:) Call it a dildo all you want, it is better than anything you have, or even what you are getting.

Newcastle Guy:

What does that have with anything to do. You sound quite smug...

heh, this reminds me of a joke with some other forumers a year or two ago when a lot of residential towers with trendy names went up in Atlanta (Metropolis, Spire, etc...) they were all in "Midtown," so i decided that a tower named Midtown should be built in Midtown so people can say "i live in MIDTOWN." ;)

-

As many of you know, sporting/special events arenas in the US "sell" the naming rights for their buildings to the highest bidding corporate sponsor.

A few years ago here in Providence, Rhode Island, our downtown sporting venue was renamed "The Dunkin' Donuts Center". Locally, it's affectionately referred to as "The Dunk".

To add insult to injury, the Dunkin' Donut logo is bright orange and hot pink - makes you proud . . .

Here's a link if you'd like to see what's coming up at The Dunk:
http://www.dunkindonutscenter.com/

for me "Al Burj" is a very Pathetic name.

i love the name "Al Burj".

Which is it?

I agree that Freedom Tower is a politically-inspired republican name. Basically an advertisement for the comical idea that "our freedom" is why the US was attacked. (If so, better watch out Netherlands!) I'll never use that name.

The Georgia World Congress Center scores high on any list of names that are overly grandiose for what their buildings really are.

Convention Center Tower.lol.

Hands down, Freedom Tower.

As for the cheeziness of "Freedom Tower," just watch. Prior to its opening, it'll get naming rights from a major tennant, so from then on it'll be known as the name of the company that paid for the naming rights, and not "Freedom Tower" :)

Gotta love capitalism LOL :)

I also think that "X-Ceed 4000" or whatever it's called is rather stupid too.

Besides the Freedom Tower, I find a number of the building to which the company owns it and self titles them or uses their name in them to be repetitive.

This is about any building, not only skyscrapers, isn't it? At least the original poster didin't say so.

So for me a hot candidate is the football stadium of Dortmund, Germany:

Signal Iduna Park (formerly named Westfalenstadion)

First because it is named after an insurance company which sound to me like toothpaste (Signal is also a toothpaste brand in Germany).
Second because calling a stadium "Park" does not make any sense in German and has also no tradition here. It's just copied from the UK.

The easyCredit-Stadion of Nürnberg isn't really much better.

Cement Tower proposed in Qatar.

The Skyscraper and The Tower, both in Dubai ... oh and Dubai Tower. there are two of them actually .. lol.

Menara Multipurpose in KL
Wing On Life Building in Singapore (actually name in Chinese dialect)

Arena Central. All those who have been following the Birmingham projects will know why... :D

and the winner is...............
Freedom tower...............
clap clap clap clap clap clap clap

Trump Tower

Where I come from trump is another word for fart.

Plaza Perangsang in Shah Alam, Malaysia. It literally means "Evoking Plaza".. The word 'perangsang' in Malay can also mean 'to arouse' :sly:

Burj Dubai... as a to-be the world's tallest building in the world, it has to have the city's name in it to record in the Guiness Book of Record.. So people would know where Dubai is.

^^ The CN Tower also has Canada's name in it, if you pronounce the whole thing. ;)

Freedom tower sounds lame.

There is a tower under constrction in Manchester called 'Sarah Tower' which is a little bit lame. Freedom Tower is the worst though; it reminds me of those Americans who changed the name of french fries to freedom fries when France didn't back the Iraq war
