[Sunflower]

Nice! I like the color and the design. I've never seen this building before and am quite impressed. 8/10 :)

[Caledon1981]

[SUNNI]

10!, i LOVE it

[Orodreth]

Does it have windows? Looks kinda ordinary, whats with the use of brown? 5.5

[Polskafreak]

5/10 to much concrete and the color of the glass is ugly.

[cabasse]

I gave em' a 7.5.

I like them. They sum up the meaning of "modernist architecture." The golden coloured glass is unique, and though some call it ugly, I call it cool-looking. 60 stories isn't shabby either, by any means. The triangular shaped base is also cool.

not bad!!!!!

[Jasonhouse]

A terrible, terrible looking tower IMO. It seems to be something that a student architect would design. And it certainly doesn't help that it is completely removed from the city's CBD. Upon completion, I believe that this was the tallest non-CBD office tower in the World for several years.

4.5/10 only because building this thing took alot of bravery.

The Cityplex towers are just down the street from me and I literally see them all the time. It was originally supposed to be a world-renowed hospital built by Oral Roberts, whose university is across the street. My best friend was actually born there when it was. But it didn't last long and was converted into an office building.

I like it because it looks futuristic. That glass atrium at the base is really huge! And across the street there is Oral Roberts Univ. and the architecture there is futuristic too. Several sci-fi movies have been filmed there because of the ultra modern architecture. I wish that the shopping centers and the Hilton hotel next to it would have been built in the same design.

The shape of the building is fine, but the colours are disgusting, they don't work with the shape of the building at all.

5/10

The colour of the fasade is ugly! But the shape is ok. 6/10

[Tulsa2theSky]

Actually, the facade is gold plated. The photos dont really show the true color or the building. The buildings were designed to match the gold and white of Oral Roberts University who built the complex originally as the City of Faith hospital. The very large praying hands sculpture used to be in front of the complex before it was moved over to the university after they sold bankrupt hospital to avoid financial ruin.

Yuk. More proof that the 70's were a dark day for skyscraper design. 5.0

[Pablo]

oh not may taste;)
4/10

[Westin Peachtree]

The color ruins it completely.....if it were all glass it would get a 10. I give it a 5 just because I can see what it would look like if it were glass, which is awesome.

[Username]

It's the color of barf...:(

And it makes you wanna barf...

[Caledon1981]

The scariest tower in the world. 10/10 for breaking all the rules. It's so extremely ugly and obnoxious.

[renell]

6.5/10

it looks ok

[james2390]

Eww, it gives me a bad feeling. Nothing worse than a brown lonely tower:( 7.5/10 because I feel bad for it.

[7 World Trade]

looks windowless from far away...they should of made the facade black, blue, or gray. that rusty tan color makes it looks ancient. the shape's ok i guess.

5.5
