Hell yeah - I'm the first post. These looked awful in renderings, so the result is a pleasant surprise. 8/10. BTW what area are these located in?

I'm glad that the construction of these two towers got delayed for a few years so they could polish the original design (which was not as good as what you see today) into something more sleek and modern. I like the towers' semi-transparent grayish blue glass that give them substance, and the innovative cut tubes at the top definitely kick butt.
8.5

8.5/10. Futuristic. Emporis for some reasons lists them both as 262 m tall.

A nice addition to Shanghai's ever growing army of skyscrapers, the top is interesting.

Well the boxy twin towers are not great, with ugly technical levels, but the cylinder thingies at the top are really nice and those vertical lines running on the side are a welcome addition to the design.
Podium is plain and seen dozens times already. 7/10 |

They definitely belong to my favorite new Shanghai skyscrapers. A nice reflective facade, a design that fits for twins and they totally dominate the skyline in the Xujiahui area.
8.5/10.0 |
