The name really does not suit this building. I like it's shape, but the facade is rather boring.

5/10

This would have been more palatable as an office building. Why give a residential block such a "utilitilian"/industrial look? 6/10

7/10 - the pleats and folds in the facade make the shape livlier, the glass catches the light well (I've always liked blue glass in facades, because it goes so well with the sky), and there's an interesting contrast between the curves of the base and the sharp, sometimes almost knife-edged, lines of the tower.

Still, it's really chunky broad side on, and that roof!...it's an uninspiring clutter, and it looks like the architects ran out of creativity right before they reached it.

The back has a strange shape, the facade is weird too, but I like it. This building looks futuristic...I'll give it an 8.

I agree, I don't like the other side of the tower.
