Only a few supertalls deserve 10/10.
Shanghai WFC is one of them!
It's simply fantastic...

9.5 from me because nothing is perfect in my opinion, but this is a real contender. Aesthetically beautiful it's elegant, sits well with its neighbour Jin Mao beautifully and almost like a piece of art or sculpture. Like a trophy for an award. Definitely one of the best in Asia and among the greats around the world. My hat goes off to everyone involved with this building.

I love it, one of the best towers in the world! although the small side at the top can't sadisfy me. it looks a bit odd from that side. 9.5/10

At night it's probably the best looking skyscraper on the planet. In the day it's less impressive.

Rutger1991 · August 9th, 2008, 06:37 PM

The most beautiful skyscraper in Shanghai!!!!!!!!

A wonderful addition to the Shanghai skyline. An imaginative design which looks even better "in the steel" than in the renders 10/10
