it seemspathetic.....y in pakistan there is no any good looking building coming...cant uderstad...these ppls spend millions for building but cant spend for good design

Intoxication · January 21st, 2006, 03:00 AM

I agree i don't like the design of this building.... i'll even go on to say i hate it.

UnitedPakistan · January 21st, 2006, 03:05 AM

I dont feel anything towards the design which must mean it sucks!

complete eyesore total waste of money and time.

NewYork-wala · March 25th, 2006, 04:25 AM

Is it really so bad? I mean looks very bright and airy...

UnitedPakistan · March 25th, 2006, 05:53 AM

Actually, it doesnt seem that bad anymore...

swerveut · March 25th, 2006, 08:12 AM

Design lacks coherence. The glassy floors should be redesigned.

NewYork-wala · March 25th, 2006, 10:13 AM

While a few details should be changed, I like the feel of the building... It feels really inviting, and open. The floor may be a little much, but I suspect they will change it a bit.. I find a lot of projects in Pakistan end up with changes when they are completed or am I wrong... For all we know that first design may not even be the final one..

Kashmiri84 · March 25th, 2006, 10:41 AM

It's an alright building... not every building under construction has to be mind-blowing and amazing... every city has its share of mediocre buildings. Its not ugly, thats the main point.

NewYork-wala · March 25th, 2006, 11:21 AM

You know, for all its worth, sometimes I think the buildings going up in places like Dubai are just as mediocre, despite all the hype... I mean, its all a matter of how you look at it, some will love it, some will not. Problem in Pak in Islamabad is that you can count on one hand the number of highrises going up, so a single mediocre or less then steller design tends to stand out that much more.

NewYork-wala · March 25th, 2006, 11:22 AM

Plus with that much glass, imagine how much they save on heating!!!

vc15nets · March 25th, 2006, 12:20 PM

Im not too worried about this one. Pakistani renders usually turn out to be much worse than the actual building.

cntower · March 25th, 2006, 04:06 PM

What's the height of the building?

UnitedPakistan · March 25th, 2006, 05:55 PM

Yes, the actual project looks better than the rendering everytime.

FK · March 25th, 2006, 06:05 PM

Its good to see that the construction is going on at full pace ..
