5.5/10
Ersh October 22nd, 2002, 02:18 AM Nice! I like the color and the design. I've never seen this building before and am quite impressed. 8/10 :)
Caledon1981 October 22nd, 2002, 08:48 AM i drive by that beast every day!! 8/10 . .better at night:D
SUNNI October 22nd, 2002, 09:35 AM 10!, i LOVE it
Orodreth October 22nd, 2002, 02:41 PM Does it have windows? Looks kinda ordinary, whats with the use of brown? 5.5
Polskafreak October 22nd, 2002, 05:10 PM 5/10 to much concrete and the color of the glass is ugly.
cabasse October 27th, 2002, 11:32 AM 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.

DrumCorpsAlum November 2nd, 2002, 08:12 AM 7.5/10. They're cool, but nothing special.

not bad!!!!!
Jasonhouse November 2nd, 2002, 07:11 PM 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.
BG918 November 10th, 2002, 09:55 AM 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.
AG November 23rd, 2002, 08:31 AM 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
Lars November 23rd, 2002, 02:38 PM The colour of the fasade is ugly! But the shape is ok. 6/10
Tulsa2theSky November 28th, 2002, 07:21 PM 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.
giallo November 30th, 2002, 02:46 PM Yuk. More proof that the 70's were a dark day for skyscraper design. 5.0
Pablo November 30th, 2002, 05:06 PM oh not may taste;)
4/10
Westin Peachtree November 30th, 2002, 06:40 PM 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 December 15th, 2002, 05:39 PM It's the color of barf...:(
And it makes you wanna barf...

Evergrey April 6th, 2003, 06:38 AM The scariest tower in the world. 10/10 for breaking all the rules. It's so extremely ugly and obnoxious.

Fabio November 15th, 2003, 01:38 AM 6.5/10
it looks ok
james2390 May 2nd, 2004, 05:09 PM 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 May 7th, 2004, 02:21 AM 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.

MDguy April 11th, 2007, 08:42 PM the color is not that great imo. But the design of the building is nice. mabey if they put blue glass on it it would look much better. 7/10
