I'm from Hong Kong, i really love my home city, i like this building too! But i could only give 9.5, coz i think the best building on the world is IFC!

A little too sleek and straight lined for my personal taste but a terrific building none the less.

Now huaiwei has already mentioned that he voted 3 because he wasnt taking the poll seriously. Now he didnt have to but he did, so give him a break. The sad truth of any poll here is that the '3 or less' poll always throws up many surprises, as well as biased voting for '10'. This applies to other buildings and cities as well.

@DMac, now it was a very juicy thing to do, revealing confidential poll results in public, but you know that is against forum etiquette. As a former mod I am sure you know the extreme importance of being confidential here. Please dont do this again.

Lets move on from here and rate this building!
Great drawing by Sher!

well said Raffi!



DMac > Since you're so righteous and noble - why dun you reveal those whom voted 3 or less for Petronas? I am sure those 2 buildings are architectural triumphs as well but no one seems to notice that there are 32 votes of 3 or less......do I as a native of KL complain?

And to the rest of the forumers......please do not judged a person by these polls

Well, I have to disagree with these views.

If someone doesn't take the poll seriously I think it's better to just say so - without voting and try to change the outcome for those who do take it seriously. I think it's old HK vs Spore rivalry at play here.

I don't see anything wrong with exposing the votes either. If people can't stand up to their votes, then don't vote. Quite simple eh? Same as if you post some text.. people can see it, otherwise what's the meaning? We are rating buildings, not voting for a political party here.

If nothing else, I'm glad the retardness of wbiss1 - wbiss10 was shown.

Simply the best designed modern skyscraper! 10/10

One of my all time favorites aswell, 10/10

Its got height and nice clean lines. Something is off about it... not sure what. I say 8.5/10.

Nice, but way over-rated. I don't know what bothers me about it, but I just see an element of cheezyness in there, so typical of Hong Kong and China...

7/10

I guess us Americans are just out to get the Bank of China Building. Dont cry over something so dumb as a skyscraper poll!!But being a skyscraper freak, I guess I can see where you are coming from

IM Pei sure does know how to make so serious kickass designs. He is known for making buildings that look different in every angle. His designs are very geometric.

That's not important because BoCT is still number 1 in Rate Our Talls Chart (probably some trolls want to drop it to second place )
ROT Chart is HERE

3 or less

[james2390]

We see how someone made up 10 didfferent user names to rate the BOC 3 or less, but I wonder hoe many did that to get it higher, mos of the time 461 people don't vote on a poll.

[Xeni-2]

I give this one a 9.5/10. It deserves it !

[Brasil Guy]

9.5/10 One of my favourites buildings in the world!!!
