I give it a 6.5, it looks really squat and short, and the materials for the building look cheap. The color really helps this building, though, and the fact that they could make it mixed use and look good (which usually doesn't happen) is a plus in my book.

Lose some weight around the waist and it'll be ok. It looks repulsive in an attractive way;)

Since this is my home town, I can vouch for the fact that there are better buildings in Portland that we could be rating. Koin Center is cool and all, but I'm more fond of others.

Looking back at it now, the base seems too fat for the top.

Very weird looking lego-ish building and I agree the base is definatly too fat for the top. I also despise that color. Bleh. 5/10.

I think it looks better in reality than it does in these pictures.... they make it look "chubbier" than it truely looked to me from most angles. It's different, so I like it.

One of the better '80s designs. Actually, I think it's well proportioned.
