MattSal July 2nd, 2005, 02:51 AM I'm not seeing the Millenium Tower picture. :dunno:
This is a tough one, but I'd have to go with Vienna's best. :cheers:
Forza Raalte July 2nd, 2005, 11:34 AM SwissRe with Turning Torso as a close runner up ;)
Monkey July 2nd, 2005, 12:36 PM ^ I agree
Peyre July 2nd, 2005, 02:06 PM SwissRe with Turning Torso as a close runner up ;)
I also agree 100% :)
nova July 3rd, 2005, 12:53 PM Between Swiss Re, Turning Torso and Torre Agbar for me.
It's a difficult choice, but I vote for Swiss Re. :)
King-Tomislav July 3rd, 2005, 02:44 PM MesseTurm by far
Nate July 3rd, 2005, 03:40 PM I also agree with Forza, WJ, and Peyre.
unforgiven July 3rd, 2005, 04:46 PM Swiss Re....in Europe's greatest city.
Sitback July 3rd, 2005, 06:39 PM I've never seen that Torso building before. It's great!!! How tall is it?
Sitback July 3rd, 2005, 06:42 PM PS. As for MesseTurm. I know lots of people think it's a great 'scraper but to me it looks like a giant, upturned pencil. Ewwww.
AtlanticaC5 July 3rd, 2005, 06:52 PM ^ Turning Torso is 190 m tall
Oh, my vote goes to Turning Torso :banana:
SEED July 3rd, 2005, 06:57 PM Turning Torso! looks unusual.. and nice :okay:
il fenomeno July 3rd, 2005, 07:01 PM postmodernism, baby
in 20 years messeturm will still look great, whereas all the others will be some muddy glass gherkins. note that the messeturm already IS 15 years old
cellete July 3rd, 2005, 08:07 PM AGBAR
Grygry July 3rd, 2005, 11:01 PM Swiss Re and Turning Malmo are architechture marvels the rest is just real estate!!
SoboleuS July 3rd, 2005, 11:18 PM The best: MesseTurm :okay:
The worst: Torre Agbar :down:
empersouf July 3rd, 2005, 11:24 PM Commerzbank, can't belive how the SwissRe got in to this thread :s
[Kees] July 4th, 2005, 12:11 AM Swiss Re. Very close followed by the Messe tower.
LordMarshall July 4th, 2005, 06:45 AM I'll have to go with the Turning Torso.. An intresting design.
Muyangguniang July 4th, 2005, 01:40 PM :)Tour Montparnasse:)
But over here MesseTurm
decapitated July 4th, 2005, 02:04 PM :)Tour Montparnasse:)
Are you kidding me?? It's the worst one in Paris. I'm all for Turning Torso, Malmö, but I'm missing Tour Societe Generale in Paris here.
Küsel July 4th, 2005, 03:15 PM Swiss Re before Messe and Torso...
cphdude July 6th, 2005, 07:32 PM TT...
Desven July 7th, 2005, 08:43 AM Messeturm,followed by Turning Torso!
HT July 7th, 2005, 12:09 PM Commerzbank, Messeturm and Turning Torso are the best!
staff July 7th, 2005, 03:09 PM Turning Torso, one of the best designed scrapers in the world, imo.
29A July 7th, 2005, 04:24 PM Commerzbank Frankfurt for me. I think the EDF tower, Paris should have been on that list.
Raine July 7th, 2005, 06:51 PM Nothing from Warsaw?
Turning Torso for unusual shape! :)

New York Yankee July 9th, 2005, 01:10 PM SWISS-RE
birminghamculture July 9th, 2005, 03:03 PM Swiss RE
Turning Torso is second and might have won if it didnt have those stupid metal poles overlapping the windows. Very amateurish design is that, lets down the whole building.
