[RafflesCity]

8/10

[Bob di Gills]

Yeah nice

8/10

[SteelCity32]

uh, tripod doesn't allow hot linking.

Very nicely lit up at night. 8/10

[X-seed 4000]

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

[De Snor]

just another box :(

[Sunflower]

It is a box but it's not bad.

7/10

[TYW]

7.5/10

I like the box.

[Caledon1981]

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

[DrumCorpsAlum]

7/10. Just a box.

[Jasonhouse]

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 Messiah]

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

[AG]

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

[giallo]

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

[Pablo]

wow so thin;)

[luis4083]

ok

[heirloom]

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

[Jeff from Winnipeg]

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

[SUNNI]

i like boxes as usual...

[JayT]

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

jt

[SeeMacau]

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

[Chibcha2k]

Bogota is the capital of Colombia

[Wu-Gambino]

Love it 8

[Evergrey]

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

[Gustavo]

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

[BGT]

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

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".

9/10 - I like it. it's boxy, but long and looks like this 1 tower in chicago. It's roof height is 196 mts and with the new heliport, it must be 200 mts.
