8/10...Another Pelli masterpiece. It's white color is refreshing and bright. The three setbacks are great, and the white lines going through the windows add some more style to the building. Though it should look better at night.

This Great White-beast is one of the best looking skyscraper in L.A.. With the Light-color that gives this Florida-style feeling from every angle around, A half-cylindal shape is a perfect recreation shape for 777. Standing tall in the right angle and right direction the reflection from the sun on this building can be easily seen all day long from different angle depend on the period....This Stunning Tower deserve 9/10 from me..;)

Looks like the Library Tower's distant brother because of its clean cut image! :D The lighting at night is great too :) The top somehow looks incomplete though IMO... They should put 1 more "segment" on top :guns1:

8/10

Simple and elegant design. Love the night view. 8/10

I love the night view as well...9/10

8.5/10

Great color and set-backs.

8/10 i like this:)

9/10 :cool:

8/10

Very ornate. Wish it was either taller or slimmer..or maybe it was deliberately meant to look massive?

This has a nice color and facade, 8.5/10

L.a had a lot of good looking towers! And this is one of them
8.5/10

That building is awsome!!!
9.5/10

another good looking one from this place. it's so massive. but beautiful. :bash: 8/10

I can recognise this building...so i gets an 8? :) Anyway it does fit into the LA skyline well...although by itself it would have looked rather plain..

Heres a night pic

This is one of my favorite buildings in downtown Los Angeles. During 4th of July they put all those colors all over it makes it look absoulty stuning. It does look like it wasn't finsihed at the top and that they should put another part to it. But hey it is still beautiful and that it does look like Library Towers distance brother. This is my favorite city and that i'm proud to near it. :angel1: :D :cheers:

8/10 - I like the way the facade dances with the light, and the contrast between light metal and dark windows. The gentle curves along the facade, the setbacks, and the indentations at the corners move the building beyond boxiness, and help it reach for the sky. And the metal and marble of the entrance and lobby give it a nice hint of art deco.

My only real gripe is that it needs something more on the roof, for the proper finishing touch...

Why, oh why, didn't they hire Pelli to do the WTC rebuild????
** SIGH **

Awesome tower 9.5/10

It would look better if it had a pyramid-top or something like that, but it's nice. 8/10

Quite appealing and apatizing to the mind and eyes.

Pelli didn't want to enter the competition and never entered. He said there were too many requirements and restrictions. He also said that he didn't want to deal with the politics of the process altogether.

8.5 This one was more beatifull when it was a bit more slender.

9/10

i like;)

My kind of tower......good in detail, proportion, finish....everything worked out nicely into a succesful and appealing total.

9/10

looks like a smaller version of the library tower. nothing much to it i guess, but the windows definitely look better than what library tower has...

7.5

This one is perfect for its location so it nothing less than a 10.

The little brother of the Library Tower. 8.0

I love this building. It looks like a brother to the U.S Bank Tower, which is also in LA.

masterpiece 9.5

8/10

I like it.
8/10

nice :okay:

I like the contrast between the flat and rounded side as well as the lighting. Otherwise it's so-so but fits pretty well in its surroundings so that's another good point. Just not one of Pelli's bests.
7.

9/10. beautiful..........

I really like it 10/10. The brown marble lobby is awsome.

its quite nice actually, 8.5/10.

7.5/10

Its a hot tower. The flat sides kind of stand out too much. and this screams for a crown of some sort. but its one of the best LA has to offer.

Sweet lookin' building 7.10 but a little boring

8/10

8/10.

Hmmm.

I have noticed some people here have used the word "elegant". That word really pisses me off. But hey I'm gonna act gay and use that word myself:

This tower is certainly the most elegant tower built in 1990. I will elegantly rate it and give it an elegant 8/10 for pure elegance. How elegant.

8.5.:)
