10!

That was my first reaction seeing the pictures. Few moments later it's the same! Such a cool color! More glass buildings should be like this! :eek:

Yes. The colour is striking and ostentatious. I also like the series of setbacks which help to bring the mass to life and those vertical elements make this thing soar.

I feel the 2 measly spires are unnecessary though.

It's not often you see a gold-building (I only know two, this one and KLI63 Building). :)

this one is just stunning! but i do think the color could be toned down a bit, perhaps incorporating and different color or surface like granite. but still, a very nice shape and design

And i think one more in Tianjin, one in Hong Kong and another one in Jakarta. I don't know the name of those buildings

7/10...The gold color suits the building well, as well as the facade is decent. The top and setbacks aren't great though.

9/10 its interesting how the towers do not match, but I love the setbacks on the left (south) tower that almost look like a glass pagoda ontop. Nice assimilation of the culture in the tower. The color is rather strong, but ballsy in a good way.
