I give it a 7/10. Interesting but not fantastic. The base area makes it look like a fortress. It's very inaccessible.

thats screwed up, the world trade center page on skyscrapers.com says the worlds tallest pentagonal building, and the jp morgan chase page says worlds tallest 5 sided building

if this was a box, it would have been rated lower by me. the shape is kinda a +, but the facade is just :down:

A pentagon must have 5 regular and equal sides. I guess the JP Morgan is 5-sided but not a pentagon.

6/10 for this. Dont like the top.

Slap some white paint on it and you have a giant beekeepers box.

It's interesting that this is the tallest pentagonal building in the world, but other than that this building has no special features, and has a boring design. The colour is ugly too (but it is improved by sunlight). :down:

There is a preservation oriented pop up that asks, 'What if the Washington Monument were replaced by a skyscraper?' and then shows it being replaced by this tower. Its selection was not coincidental. Saw the BWTC in person...not horrible either.

This was built when boxy concrete structures were all the rage...several shorter ones can be found in Baltimore that were built at around the same time. You have to see Baltimore's WTC in person to appreciate it.6/10
