The form's not bad, just trying to imagine them clad in glass and stainless .. not so bad. The balconies look generous, especially the end ones, you could almost have a game of footballl on them. Only 6/10 though for ugliness of cladding, and the fact that their fabric now probably forms the hardcore of some ring-road scheme somewhere, having only stood for 30 years.

The queen should be offended. Large buildings, large solids without the idea. I don't like. Matter of the taste. I am from Poland, I associate him with the communism and large blocks for hundreds of people, where every flat looks the same.
4/10 Salut! |
