Michigan National Tower: Lansing,MI

I give it a 7/10. Interesting but not fantastic. The base area makes it look like a fortress. It's very inaccessible.

A pentagon must have 5 regular and equal sides. I guess the JP Morgan is 5-sided but not a pentagon.

6/10 for this. Dont like the top.

Slap some white paint on it and you have a giant beekeepers box.

It's interesting that this is the tallest pentagonal building in the world, but other than that this building has no special features, and has a boring design. The colour is ugly too (but it is improved by sunlight).
