not only does this building look like a penis, but it overshadows the much more beautiful and elegant Bank of China, Centre, and Central Plaza buildings.

De-construct 2IFC!!!!!

Here is another he designed-

Simple and Beautiful. I love the reflective blue glass, and the curvature towards the top. The sheer height deserves a 10!

Awesome building all around with height and style. It is good for Hong Kong because it needed a building of such height. I like how it tapers in at the top. I give it a 9/10.

The position in the rest of the skyline is almost perfect. Take the star ferry and you know why this is such a great building. Better tha most new ones. 10/10

Nice and elegant building. Really tall and slim, and i like the graceful curves, etc. (Somehow though I keep thinking 'graceful and phallic'). Nice color. Adds something grand (like the old granite art deco scrapers) to the HK skyline. However, still a little too plain for my taste, and the design does not quite live up to its promise, in my opinion.

I like the overall design and its height. It gives HK a much better skyline.
