An architectural masterpiece 10/10

RafflesCity · May 8th, 2003, 02:44 AM

9/10

Sheer ecstatic height and unmatched elegance. I dont think there is anything this tall thats this slim!

This is Pelli's masterpiece: a 10 !!! This baby is soooo

8.5 - Just cuz it dwarfs everything else in the skyline. In some pics it looks surreal because it's so tall. It will compliment it's bigger brother - US7 - on the other side of the harbor well when it's done.

May 9th, 2003, 01:13 AM

It lacks character because of the weak rounded aspects and vague top-end, giving the impression of a rather one-dimensional concept and predictable (over-cautious and bland) design. What remains is the height ---> but the building doesn't do anything with thàt......except reaching it.

I rated it 4.5

May 12th, 2003, 01:12 PM

I don't quite like it. It looks kinda like a giant penis. But it should look awesome when it's lit up at night.

8/10

deep sea buildings · May 12th, 2003, 05:25 PM

there's nothing wrong with a giant penis!

Yeah, at least it's better than looking like a giant vagina. LOL

No seriously, the thing I don't like about it is the sharp edges around the building when the building gets progressively smaller towad the top. I like it better if it's smoother like a bullet. I also think the facade and the base could be better.

Wisma · May 14th, 2003, 11:24 AM

10/10 just awesome. This tower is just perfect.

May 16th, 2003, 08:37 PM

Aside from the reasons already given, it's nice to see a building reah such an amazing height without any cheap spires.

It's stunning, just absolutely stunning.

9.5 (I'm saving 10 for Union Square

)

rj2uman · May 18th, 2003, 08:40 AM

10, a 10. Breathtaking.
