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

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!

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

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

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.

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?

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......
