A solid conceptual approach to a box that worked out well.

Tower Large and imposing. It has uniformity with huge number of windows forming a interlacing matrix pattern both vertically and horizontally.
Strong contrast of Glass on the white cladding which end at abrupt corners giving the tower definition and an sharp form of a rectangle.
Ok I am trying to be nice here
But you know the truth of it

Every city has to have it's big box and this is Downtown Houston's. Individually it's really bland, but it blends very well with the skyline (especially with the antenna). The antenna for some reason adds a bit of a "space" theme to me considering it's in Houston. I gave it a 6.

4/10 It's fairly tall, and I kind of like that antenna on top, but it's boring.

that big antenna makes the building really ugly...................4

7 World Trade · June 18th, 2004, 03:32 AM

the most boring thing u can possibly do with a box... the td center buildings, rockefeller extension buildings, michigan plaza buildings, and the int'l style tokyo skyscrapers all look more interesting than this...thing... if it haven't been for its top two floors then the building would've been totally non-descript.

the mast just makes it worse...

i don't mind boxes. this one is acctually pretty interesting. i like how the windows go all the way to the top and the subtle curves towards the bottom are cool. too bad the antenna ruins its shape. 5.5, i would have given it a 7 if not for the antenna.
