Very nice. I would have given it an 8 but with that night photo it gets 9

Its still just a big glass box with no real look of its own eccept the fact that it gets smaller the higher it goes.

8.0/10

Meh -> 4/10

Liz L · November 15th, 2002, 12:14 AM

8/10 - yes, it is a box - but definitely a classier box than some I've seen - it takes to the sky well, since it's tall and slender enough not to look too chunky even broad side on; the slope manages to be graceful, and that facade really dances with the light (OK, I'm a real sucker for that...) The narrow strips of contrasting glass on the narrow sides are a good touch, too.

This one, just like the WTC did, depends on the light for much of its effect - but it handles it pretty well...

Very nice indeed! 9.0

when the WTC existed everyone probably payed it out..(assumeing) and now since its gone everyone feels bad about it and how nice the structure was!

Very beautiful! The golden façade is perfect and unique. The sweeping out at the base gives it some visual distintiveness and saves it from being regarded as a simple box. Furthermore, it has a very powerful presence being surrounded by no other tall buildings. To top it all off, it's gorgeous at night. There's no reason why box-ish skyscrapers can't be appealing, and this is my favourite boxscraper (or box-ish scraper) in the world. 9.5/10

This "almost-box" is downright elegant. GREAT pics, BTW. I really like this one.

8/10

the sloping design and the gold facade makes this more than just a box...it's an elegant sleek building and not overbearing for such a subtle design....8.0/10...by the way nice pics mookiecece!!
