7.5/10

Cool, but the glass and copper make the building look worn out and tired.

The Key Tower is elaborate-lined and sleek. Its futuristic look is what makes it so visually striking...9.5/10

Kind of unique but looks a little dislocated. The roof looks like it was pressed down harshly on the top.

yup, and it's weird...7.5/10

8.5 This tower looks very cool.First time i see it!

JiminyCricket · April 28th, 2003, 01:34 AM

8.5, it's has a nice chisled design, I like that, and it's definately dominating heading northbound on I-5, although a little less dominating than BofA of course.

Great building though.

I really like the cross-bracing! 9.0/10

Jase Calvin · April 28th, 2003, 08:30 PM

It's looking a little dated now but it's still good. 7/10.

COol building!! The slanted top is really unique and the facade is great too! The glass blends in well with the rest of the cladding

8/10

6.5. The facade really spoilt this tower, and made it looks much more harsh then it should. This is a mismatch for that simple roof, which reminds me of a little doll house. A doll house should have gentler shades..not this one...

6/10 - It isn't a box, and the curved indentations along the corners of the tower make the shape easier to look at.

But it's too chunky to soar, especially with that "bustle" in back and the horizontal bands of windows. Besides, the glass in the windows, and the metal surrounding them, are dark and drab, and that roof does not belong to that building - it looks like it was just slapped on any old way, and it reminds me of a barn!
