the Slaughterhotel is by far the ugliest building in the world Some nonboxy buildings like SWFC, ESB, 2IFC or Seoul Lotte tower look amazing but this abomination is hideous. I've never seen anything uglier than the Slaughterhotel and I don't mean that there only are no buildings uglier than the Slaughterhotel, I mean that nothing on this Earth is uglier than the Slaughterhotel

Yes ChiSkyline, my favourite skycraper is also Trump world Tower. It is very beautiful and tall.
The Trump World Tower at United Nations Plaza is one of the most luxurious residential towers in the world.

This is a hard choice, but I have to say Sears Tower. It is one of those buildings that you really have to see in person. The glassy black facade and design of the building make it one of the most recognizable and unique in the world.

My favorite is the Pricewaterhouse Coopers Centre in Christchurch, New Zealand.
Always loved it as a young child. After the earthquake it is being demolished sadly. Sorry about the pictures having to be links. http://www.cfspm.com.au/uploadedImag...tre_colour.jpg http://www.beca.com/~/media/Images/C...=0&thn=0&w=582 |
