5...it looks too lego-ish to me

joshgekko · September 1st, 2004, 03:06 AM

The surroundings really add to the building. Most pictures you will find give this building no justice. It is amazing. At ground the level the architecture really shines

Interesting crown, and the setbacks are neat, but it doesn't seem to have much 'soar'. It needs to be slimmer, or perhaps a spire would help.

Overall I like it though.

7.5/10

I don't like anything about this bldg from the horrible top to the odd shapes and facade. I don't say this much about skyscrapers cuz I love most of 'em but this is ugly fo sho!

9.5/10. Well-defined facade and shine to the DT skyline. The only building to ever have a block crown - 3 stories more, but like Atlantic Center, this crown counts. I think Portman scaled this one out with Lego's way before building it.

The short attention span tower. Besides, I couldn't possibly give Portman any credit - bs post modern lobby with a pointless plaza in the front. One thing I can say about minimalist architecture - especially the brutalist style, is that there is uniformity. This tower looks like it doesn't know what it wants to do.

9.5 I love the lights at the very top of the building, they look really sweet in a misty fog

Cool, I love the design and the cladding 9/10

Pengui · April 18th, 2005, 07:00 AM

Wtf ?

From some angles it looks blocky-awful-lego-ish, but from some others it works absolutely great

Don't really know what to think of it, but I believe it ain't that bad so I'll give it 7.

flatiron94 · April 19th, 2005, 12:50 AM

thats pretty cool. 10/10
