7.5 dull.

WOW! I like it! 9/10!!

[7 World Trade]

The building has a good balance between the Art Deco and Postmodern styles. A very fitting addition to the diverse Lujiazui skyline. The main section of the building reminds me a bit of the Empire State Building. It would look more balanced if they have added spires to the other side of the two peaks though.

NO WAY this building is 252 meters tall. I would be surprised if the spires/antenas even pass the 200 meters mark.

Something got lost in translation here ...

[Pengui]

I really like this building's design !
I love the facade detail and the variety of features that still look coherent put together. The top is great. I think they could have done something better with the entrance at street level though...
Besides, it fits super well with nearby Bocom Towers.

8.5/10

[R@ptor]

Fits pretty well with all the other Pudong skyscrapers.

Good atention to details. The bad part is that it doesnt succed in looking modern. Not dull just isnt a good choice for a modern city. 6/10 though.

[SoboleuS]

Nice, elegant tower - much better than its neighbours ;) 8/10

[Darkesthour1220]

design overall is nice, but i don't like all the concrete, more glass would look good.

Nice building...and to me it does look like 252m if you look at it in comparison to the cars.

it has a slight resemblance to the Tokyo City Hall and the facade a little like the Parque Central Towers in Caracas. overall, i think it is not bad. more glass would be better

[sharpie20]

7/10 Everytime i look at this building it seems like it's unfinished.

My experience as well. I have never seen a Japanese-designed building that I liked.
