Excessive trolling? He was posting those pictures of bogota in a number of threads..

Hey folks, I have found more hideous buildings :puke:

Metlife Tower in NYC (the one with the clock)

Burj al-Arab in Dubai
I actually hate most of these pre-1940 skyscrapers, although they seem to have a huge fan base. But Burj al Arab is a masterpiece of modern architecture. Bold and slick, with a futuristic yet symbolic shape. That's probably why it was such an iconic landmark of Dubai before Burj Kahlifa was completed (that one I would call ugly, because it's totally out of proportion)

Palermo:


Bologna: (in this picture the towers are not under construction, but the cladding is that one!)


Turin:


Naples: (buildings, Left 110 meters, right 65 meters)


Rome: (in my opinion this is the worst project ever in italy)

[/QUOTE]

Why exactly you dont like metlife tower ?
Proportion ? Details ? cladding ?
It's tacky. It looks like it rather belongs to Las Vegas than to New York. It's some cheap imitation of Italian Renaissance... actually an awkward mix between Big Ben and St Mark's Campanile in Venice.

There are tons of amazing and beautiful skyscrapers in New York. Metlife is not one them.
