Rotunda is shit...

Candle House is much more impressive;

Looks like a brown "TURD"

Definitely Rotunda, though I feel it has lost part of its character following the refurb.

That one in Leeds always looks like it's leaning - it makes my eyes go weird.

I don't dislike it though. But the Rotunda is better.

I like them both equally. Candle House is arguably more innovative than Rotunda, I like them both even though I should prefer Candle house but they both look pretty decent.

Accura4Matalan · March 4th, 2012, 11:09 PM

My vote goes to the Rotunda

10123 · March 4th, 2012, 11:15 PM

Got a Manchester foggy cloudiness to it.

Candle House is nice. My favourite new highrise in Leeds.

The Rotunda however is taller, older, has more glass and an interesting history. The top desperately needs completing though to give it its iconic status back.

VoldemortBlack · March 4th, 2012, 11:40 PM

I don't know if it's actually Rotunda vs Candle House or Rotunda vs Leeds forumers gloating about Candle House.

That's why I prefer Rotunda. Brummies aren't gloating about it

Nothing to gloat about, Rotunda is our baby, together with BT Tower and now Beetham Tower.

All iconic Brummy towers, original and the best.

You could say that about Manchesters towers.After all ,CIS is the UK's original glass 'skyscraper'. Now a listed building and still one of the best looking

It's big! Scroll>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I spy with my...............

Taken from Manchester Royal Infirmary.(99% sure)

Just shows how flat Manchester is. Not a mole hill insight.

So the only reason you prefer one building over another is because a couple of people are 'gloating' about one ? Seems like a wierd analogy...

But yeah, Rotunda is very nice. I would have prefered the sections of Candle House to be parallel to be honest.

That was a rather disappointing image of Manchester skyline. When I scrolled I expected something great, instead it just faded into nothingness.

The issue with Manchester skyline is not that its bad its that people struggle to find the right vantage point.
