7.5

Don't like the look of giant bricks on its facade, makes it look as though out of the 70's or something. Has a fantastic looking base though.

5/10 sorry but I don´t like it

7 World Trade · May 7th, 2004, 05:00 AM

too terraced like for my full liking, and the roof doesn't fit the rest of the building well. i don't really like this one, but i think boa atlanta, 1 atlantic, 191 peachtree, and westin are all good atlanta buildings.

james2390 · May 8th, 2004, 07:34 AM

Awesome photo! That top is amazing.

Great building.....it really is the TALLEST in atlanta. This building and the BoA in charlotte deserve to be the tallest in the southeast....not the steel cage cheater

james2390 · May 13th, 2004, 02:08 AM

Bank of America has a spire. Who cares about height, as long as it looks good.

Charlotte has a spire too, so in reallity, Charlotte's BoA is a cheater too.

I wish Atlanta had ONE dense skyline, not scattered throughout!! Is it like Houston and is not strict on ZONING???

james2390 · June 25th, 2004, 09:21 PM

It's strict on zoning, it doesn't have skyscrapers all over the place. They go in a line down Peachtree. There is 3 major buisness districts: Buckhead, Midtown, and Downtown.

What's the point of 3 CBD'S, WOULDN'T ONE DENSE SKYLINE BE BETTER???

This idea has such potential, but it was carried out only to be an average building. I like the terracing, find the color ok. I really like the very top part, except that it is ruined by the corners. If the top was more pyramidal I woould like it better, it just doesnt fit. Take the blocks at the very corner where the lower facade meets the crown and remove them and this building would be an 8 or so. I would soar more and looke more elegant and finished, because the rest of the building does a good job of doing that.

I actually like it how it is, I wouldn't want it any other way.

Justadude · July 27th, 2004, 06:14 PM

Really neat idea, I think the blocks do a lot to push our ideas of what the top of a building should (or could) look like. To my eyes I think it could've used a bit more height, it just looks disproportionately wide to me.

BTW, I don't think it's fair at all to accuse the Charlotte BoA of "cheating", considering the spire serves a reasonable purpose as to the appearance of the building and adds very little in height. It's nothing like the steel-cage monstrosity in Atlanta, which adds hundreds of feet to the height.

David3820 · August 26th, 2004, 09:20 PM

Ooh, I quite like this one but doesn't make it to one of my favorites. 7/10
