8/10...Another Pelli masterpiece. It's white color is refreshing and bright. The three setbacks are great, and the white lines going through the windows add some more style to the building. Though it should look better at night.

This Great White-beast is one of the best looking skyscraper in L.A.. With the Light-color that gives this Florida-style feeling from every angle around, A half-cylindal shape is a perfect recreation shape for 777. Standing tall in the right angle and right direction the reflection from the sun on this building can be easily seen all day long from different angle depend on the period....This Stunning Tower deserve 9/10 from me..

Looks like the Library Tower's distant brother because of its clean cut image!

The lighting at night is great too

The top somehow looks incomplete though IMO... They should put 1 more "segment" on top

8/10

Very ornate. Wish it was either taller or slimmer..or maybe it was deliberately meant to look massive?

james2390 · May 15th, 2003, 12:40 AM

This has a nice color and facade, 8.5/10

huaiwei · May 28th, 2003, 12:16 PM

I can recognise this building...so i gets an 8?

Anyway it does fit into the LA skyline well...although by itself it would have looked rather plain..

This is one of my favorite buildings in downtown Los Angeles. During 4th of July they put all those colors all over it makes it look absoulty stuning. It does look like it wasn't finsihed at the top and that they should put another part to it. But hey it is still beautiful and that it does look like Library Towers distance brother. This is my favorite city and that i'm proud to near it.

8/10 - I like the way the facade dances with the light, and the contrast between light metal and dark windows. The gentle curves along the facade, the setbacks, and the indentations at the corners move the building beyond boxiness, and help it reach for the sky. And the metal and marble of the entrance and lobby give it a nice hint of art deco.

My only real gripe is that it needs something more on the roof, for the proper finishing touch...

Why, oh why, didn't they hire Pelli to do the WTC rebuild????

It would look better if it had a pyramid-top or something like that, but it's nice. 8/10
