Impressive but lacks just that bit of jazz to make it truly spectacular. It looks very tall though.

Without the sun on it, the building looks dull. However it is much improved with the sun shining on it (as in the 2nd photo) which brings out it's pleasent blue colour. Interesting facade.

Nice building, but they could have done better with the base. I like how it's rotated 45 degrees though...

..With that simple design, I can't beleive How incredibly beautiful it is...Only with those Vertical lines running from the ground to the top and joined up together as a gorgeous crown on the top......Just like they said.."Less is More"...9/10
