8.5 The horns rule

The skyline is pretty tight and the horns f**ken rule too. :guns1: :D I give it an 8. :cool:

I love this building. 9/10

8/10

Wow! It looks really special.

nice and special in it's own way.

8/10

Very different. The horns are awesome. :guns1:

I REALLY like this building! I can even imagine it as a Worlds Tallest. It would have been so much cooler if it were much taller. Still, it gets an 8.5 in my book. :)

I'd agree....sweet tower. 9/10

I always liked that building...even though it's kinda kooky. haha

8.5

Two thumbs up. Could be a touch taller, but it fits nicely in nashville. 8.

:devil: love it

9.0/10

7.5 It's a pretty nice tower for most of its height... but I could do without the silly horns... and the arched piece that says "BellSouth"... I think it would have been a better looking skyscraper if it climaxed with that glass portion... though it would have been much shorter.

EXCELLENT. 10/10:angel1: :guns1:

Futuristic! 8.5/10

One of my favorite skyscrapers. 9.5/10

9.5/10

A nice, sleek skyscraper. It could use more floor height than horn height.

one of my favorites, 10

dunno about this one...8/10

Pretty nice tower

hmm.. this looks like they imported this one straight from China :tongue2: 6.5

Looks best in the second photo. I like the cladding - very stylish. :cool:

Great tower.

I live up the road in Clarksville, and coming down to Nashville to see the Bellsouth Building just livens me up. It's so outstanding and is the best addition to Nashville's skyline. They needed something that made the city stand out.

I give it a 7 because the building isn't very tall!! Isn't it only like 550 ft?

Nashville has a nice skyline when driving in from the north (along I-65) but it is very decpetive. The downtown is built-up from the river and all the buildings appear taller than they are. Once you get downtown, they aren't that impressive...but a nice view nonetheless.

This building is so unique....imagina a world tallest with that shape...awesome!
I give it a 9/10 and yes, the horns so rule!

Wow, this building is really cool. 9.0.

I don't like it much. I dislike it when skyscrapers have the effect of having 2 or 3 floors look like 1 (Comerica does this as well, but I like that building more). It doesn't help the building's vertical effect at all, and this building isn't tall to begin with. I suppose the 2 spires at the top look alright though. 5/10

good....8 Points....!!!!

:)

3/10

I like it, I would love to see it with more height and less cheating. 9/10

This building does set a standard for the Nashville skyline that will definitely be benificial when other talls are designed and built.

wish it was taller...8/10

Reminds me of Melbourne Central. 7.5/10

9.5.

it b coo~

8/10

8. Like the building, but what r the horns for ? Intercecpting phone signals or somthin.

beatiful facade and design! 10!!!

one of my favorite skyscrapers

8/10

Being from Nashvillle I am biased, but I love this building - I just wish it had been taller - even though it currently is the tallest building in the state. FYI - In Nashville we call it the "Bat Building" in reference to it's "Batman" look. The twin spires are actually functional in that Bellsouth has some sort of communications equipment in each one. The circle with the three stars inside the opening at the top of the building is the center part of the Tennessee state flag. I'm giving it a 8.5 just so I won't appear too eager to plug a building from my home city.

7.5/10

interesting 8.5/10

8.5/10 nice!

7/10

Very unique even amongst the postmodern designs. 8.9

The Batman Building rules!!! 10/10! As you can see, I don't have any problem plugging a building from my home city. I can't wait until I get to vote on Signature Tower. :)

nice one! 8/10 :)

It's really weird but looks good. 8/10

I adore this building! I first saw it on an episode of "COPS" and it looked awesome, like it was from Gotham City. Ever since, I've been intrigued with Nashville's skyline.

Looks similar to Melbourne Central, but this one is a bit more whimsical and I like that. The horns do rule and the building has a menacing snarl to it. Love it, just wish it were a little taller

"9.5"

2 out of 10. 1 for each ball this building has at being such a joke. Perhaps if it were taller the roof and spires wouldn't seem way out of scale.
