This is such a sweet building! I love the setbacks and that dome rocks!
renell February 23rd, 2003, 12:15 PM 6.5 i like the dome, but for 167m it looks quite small
SteelCity32 February 25th, 2003, 03:01 AM nice dome, nice building.
7/10
bay_area February 27th, 2003, 10:37 AM I love this building-every city should have one! The dome screams class.9
The Messiah March 18th, 2003, 06:32 PM Nice tower,because the dome is on the top i will put in a extra point.
7.5/10
james2390 April 5th, 2003, 12:33 AM i really like the illuminated romanesque dome at nite. i think kentucky should be proud 2 have this as Louisvilles tallest or second tallest, cant remember.
Evergrey April 8th, 2003, 03:32 PM 9.5/10 Great looking building towering over L-ville. That dome is magnificent and gives this building an air of importance. One of the best skyscraper tops I have ever seen.
KM1410 June 11th, 2003, 07:14 AM I love the dome. 8/10
trickykid August 24th, 2003, 08:46 AM I used to not like this building at all. But this past summer we went through Louisville on our roadtrip and i must say i fell in love with this scraper. The dome and its geometry are great. And the building as a whole really dominates and adds charecter to an already decent skyline. I was impressed. Overall 9/10

Such a nice design !!
Lmichigan August 26th, 2003, 05:17 PM The only thing bothering me about this building is the colors and windows. I think it would have looked even better with more glass, and oversized windows.
It still gets an 8/10 though.
Kaneda August 26th, 2003, 06:49 PM I love it !! Why haven't I seen this before ! 9/10
Dark Star September 18th, 2003, 07:34 AM I'm new to this forum. I kept hearing about it over on SSP and thought I should get off my duff and check it out. I'm glad to see the majority of folks here like our #1.
As a Louisvillean I am proud to have Aegon Center in our skyline and I say thanks!
P.S. I'll be moving downtown by the end of the month and Aegon will be in perfect view from my living room window on the 16th floor! :D
Dark Star September 18th, 2003, 07:38 AM I just thought to post a picture I took some months ago of AEGON. This is one of my most favorite street views downtown. Hope you agree. Thanks.

UrbanDesigner October 6th, 2003, 04:33 PM Excellent. Louisville is one of the most underrated cities / skylines in the US

really a great tower
Mr. Big November 19th, 2003, 05:22 PM This tower represents a perfect marriage of beauty and brawn. A rare combination seldom seen since the '20s and '30s.

riffsyphon1024 July 29th, 2004, 08:02 PM It's an awesome looking building, although I do admit it looks phallic.
Over at Simtropolis (the largest Sim City 4 fansite), I'm posting my pictures of its recreation using the BAT (building architect tool).

Ashram September 3rd, 2004, 02:10 AM 7/10 The dome on top looks great and the buildings facad is nice and clean. A little on the conservative side, but still a nice building.
LouisvilleJake January 5th, 2005, 03:08 AM Aegon is an incredibly beautiful building. Louisville is lucky to have it as it's hallmark tower. The dome is wonderfully illuminated at ngiht, and just sets a great tone for the rest of the skyline. 9/10

LooselogInThePeg January 13th, 2005, 02:56 AM I like the design but I only gave it a 7. Doesn't look modern enough to me (not enough glass or colour otherwise)

eweezerinc August 28th, 2005, 07:27 PM I love Aegon Center. It's a perfect building to have as a center piece in a skyline.
