I don't like the top, it looks like some sort of screen made from closely spaced tubes, like Atlanta's BOA. I'd prefer a glass top.

7.5/10...The top looks dull in the day but is the best feature at night. The building's shape is unique, but the facade is somewhat boring. Got to add points for the unique and interesting base.

il fenomeno, the roof is built to allow the lighted beacon to show through at night, hence its wierd finish. Its more functional then architectural. ;)

6/10, and maybe I was generous....
That pyramid top doesn't go with the rest of the building at all, and it's not be any stretch of the imagination graceful, especially since it's sawed off. It might have looked better had it been a ziggarut.
The facade is simply dull, and the windows look like holes in a cheese grater The only interesting detail is those little round sections at the top, and even those don't match...
The base has the same problem, both in shape and material; the glass looks like those bricks you put in bathroom windows...It might have fit a bit better if the columns had been square, with some veritical indentations.
All in all, a mishmash with little harmony between the poorly-matched and unimpressive parts...

I like the 'pillars' just below the pyramid top, and they are especially impressive at night.
The rest of the facade is quite bland, though, and needs more detail.

I can see this one while typing... Hmm... About 10km away though so it's small :-p
But, heh, that's not really one of my favourite scrappers. The pyramidal top is nice, especially at night, but that's about it. It has the evil-robot look to it. Proportions and features are a bit of a mess and the cladding is just boring.
