#262 l Wells Fargo Center l LOS ANGELES l 220m l 54fl - Page 2

Well dimensioned, thought-out in design and placement.

BTW: I think that no building deserves lettering or logo's placed on it. Wells Fargo Center serves as a perfect illustration of this sad phenomenon.

9/10

6/10 - The facade dances with the light, thanks to the shiny stone, and there's something crisp and streamlined about the triangular (?) shape and knife-edged corners. It also plays off the nearby buildings well.

BUT...all in all, it's a flat-roofed - OK, OK - it isn't a box...but still...

Very nice boxy tower, I like this building
8.5/10

the reflective facade is awesome (i've always been attracted toward reflective stone masonry facades for some reason). but i think the shape of the building somehow makes it too surreal. to me, a box that's not rectangular or square is not that good looking.

Sorry but I really hate it!! I think I'll just call this one "The Ugly Brown Tower". 2/10

Sharp angular sides are a nice feature, but otherwise I find it incredibly dull. Colour and facade both look dated.

5/10

I love the reflection of these twins. Probably the most beautiful Wells Fargo ctr in the States. 9.0

Just another spin on the traditional box design, but a nice one at that. I give it a 7/10.
