I like its base and its colour, but other than that its quite ordinary.

I like it, but it's not great. 7.5/10

Jasonhouse · September 28th, 2002, 09:41 PM

Good, but not great. The facade is very bland, and simply lacks any kind of interesting details. It also seems so isolated, though that could be the angle of the pics...

7.0/10

The original name of this building was the "Golden Tower". She's quite a beauty still remains to be my favorite building in Asia. I saw this building go up in April of 1984. In June of 1986 I went up to the observatory to catch a nice view over looking the Han River and the rest of the city. The exterior tube you see on the side of the building is the glass elevator. In the evening this building has an amazing glow reflecting the sunset. Those pics don't do it much justice. You will have to see it in person to know what I'm talking about. I give an 10 easy from experience. Gold facade buildings are hard to come by these days. It may very well be the tallest gold glass facade building in the world.

The bias against boxes in this forum is appalling. This building is a stunner.
