Hmm, 7/10. Could have got better if it weren't for the top.

Top look sweird, but not too bad. Seems as though trying to create an old, prestigious facade maybe, but ends up looking annoying for that. Would also probably look better if taller.

Don't really like the top. The whole tower is like a big, featureless monolith, even with all the setbacks. It's well lit up at night though.

What does the base and entrance look like?

I love Aegon, don't like Wachovia. It's just... The dome is ugly. Aegon is nice, good looking even in day, but this thing is just... eh.

Wachovia was founded in 1879 in Winston-Salem and had its corporate headquarters there for over 100 years until merging with Charlotte-based First Union. The Wachovia Center was designed by Cesar Pelli and is sheathed in Olympia white granite from a quarry in Sardinia, Italy.

The building features Moravian architectural themes, for which Winston-Salem is famous; the dome is designed utilizing the Moravian arch, and the Moravian star is prominent in the lobby's mosaics.
