Nice looking building. 7/10

We need more pics...

No, not a lame link to a site that doesn't allow hotlinking. Some ACTUAL PICS, posted here.

Skyscrapers.com allows hotlinking, you just have to know how to work it (a little trick called view - source) ;)

I typically just Prt Scr and host the pic myself...

6.5/10

Nondescript.

7.0/10. It looks threatening :)

I give it a 8 , I like it.

Great design! Wouldn't mind it in my city!

8/10

That looks really nice! 8/10!

My favorite tower in the state of Missouri ----> 7.4/10

8/10. Neat tower. Love the reflective glass and the color, but something just looks stumpy about it. Still, a cool building.

7/10. nice. the top of the building is looking a bit boring.

Man, we're having some real trouble getting some pics of this building. Where's KCGridlock when you need him?


I know full well what the tower looks like. I understand the historical reference fo the massing, but this buildig is no Williams Tower (another 80's tower that took massing cues from a historical highrise style and encased it in glass)...


I give it a 6.0/10 only because it's the city's tallest.

7/10

I've always liked K C ,but this building is ugly.This dark blue monolith sticks up like a sore thumb in an otherwise nice skyline. It doesn't look any better from the observation deck atop city hall,443 ft,either.
A nice crown and clad other than in glass would have improved my rate of 4. GO CHIEFS

id give it a 7/10 because it does look threating. But nice glass

6.5/10

Any more pics anywhere? You can't really see the whole building.

8/10

I give it 7/10

iF it weREnt sO fat I woUld like it MoRe.

I gIvE it a 6.

SerIOUsLy.

8.5 A fabulous tall building... very intricate design cutting away to the slim top... beautiful glass.

Another thread where the pics don't work anymore!:rant:

This thread is so old I forgot about it, but I edited my post with some more pictures. The poll is messed up too. I guess I didn't know how to make the poll back then.

ok, time for one from KC...

Its my favorite building, I know a guy here on the internet that works in it, he took some photos from the top and inside, although the inside photos are gone...
the west side is more elevated than the east, the west is said to be 179m (587.2ft). But the east is of course lower than the west so it has 2 different heights.
BTW most of you at SSP do know that my other name (real name) is Devin ;) Thanks for posting my pics :)

Woah,now the pics work and i love it!
The setbacks and the facade look very nice
7.5/10

8.5/10 nice tower.

6.5/10

A nice building which deserves an eight. It would look good in Boise. However I'm taking 1.5 points off because Kansas City should be known for it's older buildings, this one ruined the skyline.

IMO it didnt ruin the skyline! would you rather have us looking like this?
http://images.kclibrary.org/images/10004375.jpg
or this?
http://images.kclibrary.org/images/10006070.jpg
I think not, removing the modern buildings makes us only comparable to Des Moines!
This skyscraper adds alot to Kansas City, plus it is the tallest in Missouri. Without it we would not have that title!

y it ruin the skyline?

8.5/10


Great tower

I changed my mind about this one, 7.5/10

7/10 it being covered completely by glass, and the setbacks, that combinations doesn't work that good for me

6/10

The square top has been extruded too much and makes the tower look unbalanced. 6/10.

I just don't like the way this building looks. 4.5 for being the tallest.

Massive and plain....6/10

I don't really like how this building is designed. 6/10

8.5/10

Like the shape, but its nothing but glass how imaginative (sarcasm) 4

looks ugly 6/10

7/10

Quite nice tower. The glass is quite boring but the shape is interesting. 7,5/10
