I think I would like it better if it was a toned down a little.

I love these 2 fraternal (non-identical) twins, in the flesh, I mean cladding and they are soooo photogenic. So truly innovative for the modern scraper.

In architectural circles in Australia, it is commonly understood with humour that they are like koalas hugging trees from behind, as they do so with all 4 paws.

Huh?.......huh?

The twins, a very well desreved 9.5! The cute koala though, of course a 10 ;)

Unique. 9.5/10

I love Lippo Centre! One (two) of the Hong Kong landmarks. The towers look hightech to me, dunno why.. maybe because I pictured them like chips on a mainboard.

Interesting story about the koalas.. it makes sense.

Nice building, but wtf is lippo? 7/10

LOL Lippo is an investment company. Nothing to do with liposuction.

lmao, thanks :D

I love it, it is quite unique and futuristic

10/10

My all time favourite mid-rise towers.

Yes they do look like koalas hugging a tree which always makes me laugh, but I see a more high-tech appeal when i view them. Photogenic in the extreme, too much is never enough, these are just perfect to me.

BTW Lippo was originally Bond Centre I think and was commissioned by the then rich Australian Alan Bond, the 80s saw his heady decadent ways in full flight before finacial misdealings saw him goaled. Sydney lost out on a keystone tower in the late 80s that would have been just as spectacular as this, due to stock market crash and problems with his business empire I believe.

I love them they could have been another 100 metres or so in height though.

Ah,i just love these towers! 9.0/10

I love them!!!!
They looks like a scupture on glass, like a totem.

9.5 very unconventional

^ i find it very unappealing. someone put too much effort into making it look "wierd." looks very sterile.

Weird, nice glass though. 7/10

Like 2 pandas in 2 trees!!

Those are koalas, not pandas :)

Anyway, this is a landmark scraper in HK.

10/10

The problem with Lippo is that it is tucked behind the main skyline, so it's not very visible from Kowloon. From the Peak, it is overshadowed by other nearby giants such as the Bank of China and Cheung Kong. The best locations to view this skyscraper are within the city itself - along the Queensway off Pacific Place and along the pedestrian bridges from Citic near Tamar.

9/10 -very impressive buildings !

such designs look good for medium highrises, but not suitable for supertall platforms.

A Hong Kong landmark.

Notice how this building is in the background, not too prominent in the skyline :
