67 people vote less than 3.5...many people hate North Korea...

6.5/10
Nice pyramid shape but looks too plain.
It would have been better if it was covered with glass.

CaptainJackSparrow · November 14th, 2003, 06:53 AM

I give it a 6, it's fascinating. Looks pretty bad when it's not finished yet I can't look away. It would have gotten a 10 if complete. That little picture of it covered in glass looks very cool.

4.5/10

A very dark and evil looking structure, I have always loved this building since I read about in the Guiness Book of Records ten years ago or something and am still waiting to see it in real life.

Gets points for abovementioned evilness, and also height. Don't like the pyramid shape though, makes it far too big at base. Deifintely in current form not sleek enough for me.

am still waiting to see it in real life ?
How would you do that
This must be one of the least visited Tall buildings
even least seen

ParraMan · January 7th, 2004, 09:10 PM

Me very adventurous and want to try everything and see everything at least once. This more than others because not many people get to see it, so I would be one of the lucky ones I guess.

Wait little bit more until the unification day of south and north! You will see the new renovated Ryugyung Hotel!

ParraMan · January 8th, 2004, 04:31 PM

If I am lucky, I will get to see it both ways- before AND after. Can't wait til reunification though (if it happens), what a huge party!!!!

Liz L · January 8th, 2004, 10:43 PM

ParraMan, you might need to hurry up if you want to see it, because I suspect that it might be beyond salvaging in a few more years. Just look at the big chunks of concrete laying around in that one picture....

Primo · January 10th, 2004, 06:00 AM

the worst building ever 0/10,

skyperu34 · January 11th, 2004, 03:18 AM

of course i´d give to this building a 10 if finished, but it just deserves a 7. The design is good, innovative and dominating (not because of the fact that there are no tall buildings surrounding it) The building is great itself even as it actually looks. Shame that Ryugyong is abandoned........................

Jo · January 12th, 2004, 02:52 AM

I think you guys are confusing architecture with politics.. and why are we judging it as a completed building?

As far as uncompleted building skeletons goes this is not so bad.. if looked at from a distance

LeCom · February 1st, 2004, 07:17 PM

Big and dumb, but SOOOOO cool cause it's abandoned. 10/10

Imperfect Ending · February 3rd, 2004, 06:24 AM

8/10

Its kinda creative. I like it.
