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.

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

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.

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

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.

This tower represents a perfect marriage of beauty and brawn. A rare combination seldom seen since the '20s and '30s.

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).

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.

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

I like the design but I only gave it a 7. Doesn't look modern enough to me (not enough glass or colour otherwise)
