DISCUSS: Best Lit Skyscraper - Page 3

BoCHK · January 9th, 2006, 04:56 PM

The Centre, Hong Kong

DarkFenX · January 9th, 2006, 09:44 PM

I think Bank Of America Tower in Charlotte should be nominated. One of the best crown I ever seen and even better at night.

FROM LOS ANGELES · January 16th, 2006, 07:25 AM

The best lid skyscraper is the Burj Al Arab.

***Manila-X*** · January 16th, 2006, 08:23 AM

1) The Centre - HK
2) Torre Agbar - Barcelona
3) Burj Dubai - Dubai

Its gotta be Dubai's Burj Al Arab or Dubai's Grosvenor House....

Burj Al Arab:

Grosvenor House (seen on the right):

Has anyone got any pics of Q1 with its different colour schemes???

JDRS · January 16th, 2006, 11:50 PM

How I wish they lit Swiss Re up like this more often:

I particularly like Torre Agbar, the centre in HK, ESB and Chrysler

***Manila-X*** · January 17th, 2006, 03:52 AM

Still The Centre!

godblessbotox · January 17th, 2006, 04:45 AM

i think i am going to have to concur with the majority, The Centre in hong kong has flash and class... The Petronas Towers just look like a ridiculous night club.

jiggawhat? · January 17th, 2006, 08:13 AM

the one in Charlotte for sure!!

Not sure about ONE skyscraper, but as a whole, HK does it best.

I dislike the Centre but love some of the pics posted on here.

If we're talking about lighting and not just generally but at a specific time - surely one of the buildings involved in the Symphony of Lights should take the crown?

Surprised there's no mentions for BoC.

Honestly, I kinda liked BoC without those lighting effects.

It just hit me - why HK's skyline is far more 'glitzy' than the modest yet majestic Chicago skyline (other than the fact that the SoL was brought in to attract even more tourists after the hit HK took from SARS).

It's to do with money...

***hkskyline*** · March 7th, 2006, 05:55 AM

The BoC's changing lighting scheme is quite new, so I won't be surprised if people don't know about it yet. A lot of the photos shown here don't illustrate the moving nature of the lights - mine included.

Skybean · March 8th, 2006, 01:31 AM

The Center

Highcliff and Summit are also well lit. Similar to the Center, the tops change colour over time.

Central Plaza

Central -- HSBC

I think I have a new favourite -- AIG Tower

It blows my mind.

***Manila-X*** · March 8th, 2006, 03:46 AM

When it comes to lighting effects, HK is definitely the winner!

Mahaputra · March 8th, 2006, 04:12 AM

man.. that's a waste of electricity.. ahhaha
but yeah.. I reckon buildings in HongKong are definitely best lit..

In Jakarta, we cant really see a lot of buildings being lit up, only on special occasions.. cause the government have a policy of light pollution.. cause when all the buildings are lit.. there's too much light on the ground.. and hence you cant see the stars and the sky anymore.. and plus... as well.. of course to conserve energy and electricity..
