it'd look good as a sculpture, but not that good as a scraper. the plaza looks pretty darn refreshing though...

Lived in Dallas those pictures don't do justice to this building at all.

Ahhhh -- Dallas redeaming itself for the atrocity that is Reniassance Tower

Great look and feel that moved the city outside the "box" and into a newer style of scraper construction, post-modern, albeit 20 years later ;-)

8/10 great tower, original, still looks brand new, and I just like the name, nothing fancy, or long, or with tower in it, just named after the fountains at its base

9/10. I Like The Color And The Desing

I like it.

Too massive, ugly form. 4.5

Zuelas · October 5th, 2004, 05:39 PM

6.5

I like the fountains but not the bldg so much. Interesting design but not somethin I'd really want in my city. Might appear better suited to Asia or on the water somewhere.

SChristopher · October 22nd, 2004, 03:25 AM

It is very massive, very imposing, and has a giant footprint. I like the way it is designed and it is very architectually astounding. Yet it just seems dated and the glass at ground level is cheap and bland. It also looks like it is trying too hard and doesnt really feel natural with its surroundings. Another Texan bohemoth. 7/10

GetOnDaTrain · October 25th, 2004, 12:16 AM

8.5/10. 1 point off for the bulk design but Fountain Place makes up for it with the blue tint glass, waterslide style of th ebuilding and a water fountain in front. Cool relax.

9/10

Very futuristic, and highly original.

I wish there were more buildings like this around the world.

Well although it's very fat it has a very nice form, the glass is very lovely, and it soars well!! Yeah this tower is definetly worth seeing!!! 9/10
