pretty nice building...7/10

6.5/10

Massive, but rather dull.

Never liked this one, but I'm starting to ;).

Looks nice from the side but ugly from the front.

8.0

Even Foster has his bad days ;) (compared to other Foster's)

Rotterdam did it again!....The periphery of the structure on the top is like the contraversy of the whole set-back below. The absulute-contrast feeling that going on while the color going along well with the clear-green color glass just make it looks incredibly lissome......8.5/10

6/10 don't like this too much

8/10

a great location for a much better tower

9.5/10 One of the best scrapers of the Netherlands.

great location for a rather poor design, still 6.5 (would have been atleast 8 if taller)

Um ... 8/10

6.5/10

8.0 One of the nicest in Rotterdam

3/10...building looks like it's not sure what it wants to be...part deco, part Bauhaus, part Mies...

Pick one for god's sake! Or, mix them together with more creativity!
:rant:

Unfortunately this tower is standing alone there on a n awesome spot in the middle of the city.

But his neighbour is rising fast!.
This tower will be more beautifull when he is not alone anymore.

It is not bad, but consider that this is a Foster design and you'll be disappointed.

However stil an 6.5 out of 10

8/10


Nice tower

7.5/10

8/10
nice

If people would see the building with cruiseships/boats in front of it, they would appreciate the design much more I think :) Sadly I can't find them at the moment.

I'll give it an 7,5

Interesting. Nice colors. 8/10.

Sniper, I copied the pics to the first post since the old pics didn't work.

8/10 Looks very good from the waterside, a bit more boring from the other side

Also very nice 8/10

Very nice, and quite tall.

It has a nice combination of rounded + straight shapes and lines, and it's placed in a good location too.

8/10

Awesome tower, didn't really like it at first, but its starting to grow on me. Foster did a good job here. 8.5/10

10/10
for me its a symbole of Rotterdam

A work of art on a supurb location at the water. :cheers:

6.0
too modest for its localisation

Looks great from the front, but the rest of the building isn't that great. 8/10

10/10
Not sure why but I realy adore this building. Its big but delicate and the curves in plan with the mast above make it one sleek fucker. Great location too. I love it. You Rotterdamers are lucky bastards with your buildings!

Any one have pics of the building that Rem has his offices in?

That building is really nothing special.

9! I like the structure!

That building is really nothing special.
So Ive heard.
I just want to see the balcony where the stories my tutor has told me were played out during lunch.

Nothing special, should be taller.

It looks too cold for me, with all that metalic grey. 7,5/10.
there are better scrapers in R'dam

Never really liked this one. It's taller than it looks and just very boring. 6/10

I like this one, especially from the front side > 8.5

great tower with great design 8/10

The turning torso might have its own unique features, but its not even half outstanding as the skyscrapers being raised in pakistan. Jst ve a look @ islamabad skyline, you'll know the difference......
