I hate buildings with rediculous antennae on the top, especially big white thoughtless un natural cold squares.

4.5/10. What the hell was wrong with SOM when they put that dickwad antenna up there? I wouldn't be born, but I'm glad this ain't Houston's tallest anymore. Whoever added that antenna up there should have been shot at.

At least One Shell Plaza's sister in New Orleans, One Shell Square, looks like this one WITHOUT that got-damn antenna.

Very unimaginative. The shape is mundane, and the facade is monotonous.

5/10

hmmmm let me see, there's really not much to say about this one because it's so plain and boring and that ugly antena makes it even worse as if this building wasn't ugly enough and it could really use being a different colour like grey instead of boring white but seriously the only thing I think about when I see this building as it is is to demolish it!!! 3/10

This tower is the world headquarters for Shell...

At the 50th Floor, there is an exclusive aristocratic club called "The Houston Club." (Members only) My friend got marries there a year ago, at twlight, the views were to kill..
