I like what I see in the photos, I'd have to see it in person to grasp it though, I'll abstain from voting.

the crown goes well the this building and the reflective glass is nice as well.

8.5/10

8.5/10 - That big tower may be a box, but it's sure an impressive one - I love how the facade on the corners catches the light, and it really soars to the sky. I gave extra points for that very nice plaza around the circular main entrance, which is probably the nicest I've seen so far - some of our architects in the U.S. could take lessons from that! The main tower's crown is nice - yes, it does look a bit like a medieval keep - and I really like the night lighting. The two shorter gold buildings make a really nice composition with the big tower in the middle, but those could use a few setbacks, I think...and I wonder if the lines in the center sections of the big tower's facade might have been better off being vertical?

they really could have done more with the top IMO but it's height is impressive to say the least....8/10

i give it 9/10..
i woudlnt mind having it in perth.... jsut came back from GZ and it is very impressive atnight the lights flash on and off down teh tower which is a really good effect... teh china mayors plaze which is teh gold buildings next to it look really good with the sun reflecting of it.... pity so many of teh buildings in GZ have been left half finished after the collapse of GITIC...

8.5/10

A nice tower. I like it's roof which is fairly impressive and this is what gave the high rating. If it weren't for that I'd be scoring alot less.

One of the best thing of this tower is the lightning!So well worked out.It really looks futuristic this way and the tower is also slender.So this must be a good mark!Only i don't like the base.
Anyway a 8.5/10

Im kinda generous. I gave it a 10/10...coz I still remember when I first saw it's picture, I honestly tot it wasent real. It looks like a computer rendering, coz its just so perfectly smoooth, spotless, and sleek. Kaoz, if theres a slimbeauty out there, this is it.
