This complex looks a bit disjointed. It isn't symmetrical at all. Why would you create a plan for symmetry and and then ruin it with clumsy looking buildings that appear to have no correspondance to each other? I should mention that the cladding is ok but that's it. I give this one a 3.

Because it's Mecca, and because it's so over-the-top, it gets an 8.
