boxy but impressive at night
forgot what i gave it..:? :D

8/10

I like it..looks very slim and tall.

Yeah nice

8/10

uh, tripod doesn't allow hot linking.

Very nicely lit up at night. 8/10

I never give a box a good rating... but not many have such nice lighting effects! 8/10

just another box :(

It is a box but it's not bad.

7/10

7.5/10

I like the box.

like the slimness . makes it look taller than it is. . .nice mountain background pic too! 7/10

7/10. Just a box.

Not too bad. The emphasis was clearly on the vertical, and it shows...Kudos for pushing buildings to greater hieghts in SA.


7.0/10

The lightning in the night looks cool.
It reminds me of the Aon Center.Í know it's boxy
But i'll give it a 7.5 anyway

Very boring. The only positive I can give this building is it's bright lights at night. The shape and facade need work.

5/10

I like this box for some strange reason. I just looks cool. 8.5

wow so thin;)

ok

5.5/10 too much concrete... too little windows...

I'm liking that vertical emphasis it was designed with, but it's still a box (they need a smiley in the shape of a box... or one making the shape of a square with its fingers). ->7.5/10

i like boxes as usual...
9

Love it 10! I just love verticle lines on a tower - looks so tall.

jt

The tallest in Colombia and Bogota?
How?
Is it the same tower in both country?
9/10

Bogota is the capital of Colombia

Love it 8

5 If you take away the sophisticated lighting scheme... it's just another cold box.

I tis eleant but a little boring. Every city needs boxes.

8/10 It looks like the Aon Center in Chicago.

Good job Colombian guys.
I give it 10/10

8/10 , for what it means for Colombia. Besides at night , it looks cool !

This is torre Colpatria.
At 192metres and 50stories is Colombia's and Bogota's tallest building.
It has a slim and boxy disign a true 70's vintage building.
It's original proyect planned a twin tower design like in NYC's former WTC but connected at the 20th floor with a bridge, like in the petronas.But the owner of the land in wich the second tower would have been built sold the land to an adult cinema "company".

Les dejó algunas fotos de La Torre Colpatria. Icono de Bogotá....

Por tres años más será el edificio más alto de Colombia... Luego lo será el BD Bacatá, también en Bogotá... Aún así el Colpatria siempre será un edificio muy importante para los capitalinos:
