airsickpenthousedweller January 23rd, 2004, 08:50 PM The facades are too much 2D graphical, making the total look weird.
4/10
Wu-Gambino January 24th, 2004, 02:53 AM 6/10
The shape is great, I love that shape. The facade is awful. This could have easily been a 10, if they would have gone with a better design.
TYW January 24th, 2004, 01:25 PM cool!! i like it

Imperfect Ending January 26th, 2004, 05:49 AM 7
I think it needs pyramid on top or something
Schroedinger's Cat January 26th, 2004, 05:10 PM http://skyscraperpage.com/gallery/data/500/2090002f66c9.jpg
For this pic I give 9/10. Also at night it looks fantastic.
But in another pics the building does not look so nice:(
Actually 7/10
RafflesCity January 29th, 2004, 01:06 AM 8/10
I like it! The patterns on the facade may be a bit tacky, but they run the full height and with the setbacks, really make this thing soar.
Muse January 30th, 2004, 08:10 PM Talk about a 'try hard'. Doesn't quite make the grade.
5.5
AtlanticaC5 February 1st, 2004, 02:21 PM 7.5/10
In the second pic (and the rendering), it's really cool. In the other pics, it's just OK.

6.5/10
Ashram March 4th, 2004, 07:01 PM 5/10 Pretty boring design, though the lighting at night is decent, and it's quite tall.
The Messiah March 5th, 2004, 11:46 AM The facade looks kinda horrible,the facade at the top is the worst...

7 World Trade April 3rd, 2004, 02:51 AM i like this one for its revolutionary design. but i think they should get rid of the pinkness in the facade and make it gray instead. can't wait till they finally really finish it.

yoyo22 July 23rd, 2004, 09:54 PM 7/10
I like this one, but it could be a lot better. Choose a better color for the facade, and tone down those weird shapes in the facade at the top (the holes and swirls). I like the idea of the crown, and the modern grandness of the building, but it doesnt live up to its potential.
DamienK July 29th, 2004, 02:11 PM It has a bit of a techno-microchip quality to it with the round windows and stripes. 8/10

David3820 August 27th, 2004, 10:30 PM Ok from far away it looks alright but up close rather dull. Is not even interesting for me to look at at night and overal it doesn't look like a powerful symbol of anything. 5/10
Zuelas October 5th, 2004, 06:13 PM 7.5
I agree w/what's already been said. Great design but awful facade.
Monkey October 30th, 2004, 09:57 PM Looks dull during the day, but spectacular at night.
5/10 for day, 8/10 for night, 6.5 overall.

Sorry I couldn't take pics because the weather was way too bad. But there's a rather good pic of it on SSP:
http://skyscraperpage.com/gallery/data/719/712p1010003.jpg
It's a very impressive and modern tower with excellent cladding quality.
It is comparatively isolated so it looks even taller and dominating.
I'll give it a 8.

yuyu December 3rd, 2005, 05:48 AM I'm in Guangzhou. I can tell that the real tower is nearly a big junk--dull façade, offensive to the neighborhood. I really donn't like it.
But after seeing the rendering on this thread, I realised maybe originally it's a good designe, but they spoiled it with bad implement by using low-class materials.

A pointy crown would have looked better with this building.
Perhaps after screwing up so many roof designs, China's architects are too scared to do anything for the top of the building so they just decided to leave it looking like a truncated / unfinished building for future architects to remodel.
