7/10...It's decent in the day, and great at night! The top and spire suit the building well.

Looks pretty disgusting in the day but I love the way teh top is lit at night! :rant:

6.5/10

Looks ungainly because of the lack of variation in the (optically too "thick") horizontals/verticals of the white facade.

Looks 'built to last' .......but unfortunately so.

7/10 It's OK at day, but better at night. The top suits the building well, as savethewtc said.

The Hong Kong one is better !! :D :D

8/10

The facade is mediocre, but I really like the setbacks and I generally like buildings with pyramidal tops, not to mention the lighting is great at night.

As with most well lit towers it looks better at night.

Having two Lippos in HK is better than having one Lippo in Shanghai!

Here is the entrance:

7.5/10 imo it's better than the usual faceless Chinese post-modern scraper. maybe it's the setbacks

7.5/10 - The light stone and dark glass provide a good contrast, and so do the variations in the pattern, especially the glass corners. The base also seems to flow well from the rest of the tower, while at the same time providing more variety with its circular shape. The night lighting is also well done.

BUT - the tower is somewhat chunky, I don't like the pyramid on top, and there could have been more vertical emphasis along the facade.

This tower is evil. 4/10

I don't like it particularly.

the design is just too lame.

Once again a really ugly facade on a chinese building makes it look bad, ruined a skyscraper with some promise.
