looks like a castle almost.... i don't think the spire should count towards the height though..... 8/10

De Snor · November 22nd, 2002, 11:17 PM

This is no skyscraper to me , it's a boombastic creation of insanety

***invincible*** · December 11th, 2002, 08:45 AM

the spire/tower section is way too tall compared to the rest of the building..

8.5/10

JacobRit · December 11th, 2002, 03:10 PM

its hard to traet this with the same criteria we do a skyscraper, its more like a church, grand but mostly decorative, if i was rating it as a building i would give it a 9

as a skyscraper a 7 will do

7/10

Bold and unique, but it doesn't have that skyscraper look.

***SeeMacau*** · January 1st, 2003, 06:45 AM

Very beautiful
9/10

Bobdreamz · January 19th, 2003, 08:43 PM

this is an architectural beauty...simply stunning to look at...some have used the word grotesque but it looks to be more overbearing since it's so huge...it does have a castle resemblance similar to those built in Spain..it's impressive....8.5/10

An ugly son of a bitch, 4/10

Leienaar · February 15th, 2003, 02:21 AM

Almost perfect! A 9.5 for me.
I love these buildings, the greatness of their facade, the beautiful positioning. I'd like to visit it once.

supercees · February 17th, 2003, 11:37 AM

I like the building, very impressive... only thing I don't like is the idea behind it.... an 8

Lars · February 20th, 2003, 08:21 PM

Yehaaaaa! I love it sooooo much! MY absolutely favorit! 10/10

10/10
the pictures don't do justice to the way that it looms imposingly over the whole city, nor to the detail of the soviet-style decorations 200 metres above the ground... ok so it isn't that tall, but it does compensate for this by having lots of style and stone hammer-and-sickle logos about the size of a small lorry.

Plus it looks incredible in the dark.

And it stands on top of a hill that makes it seem twice as high as it is.

And there is the most incredible view from this hill!

If only the soviets had spent more money competing properly with the US in building skyscrapers instead of wasting all that money on ICBMs that no-one ever used anyway, then this would probably be twice the height. If only....

9.5/10 Nice building! I think its the world's tallest building in a university.

April 10th, 2003, 03:03 AM

10! My second favorite university building after the Cathedral of Learning in Pittsburgh. This building looks totally evil, oppressive, grim, mighty and powerful. It is extremely ornate and massive. I love this style of building.

My only complaint is that the spire is a little excessive.

7.5/10

TropicalSQ744 · May 10th, 2003, 05:59 PM

This one is a classic.. But i find the spire weird... I dont understand why they tuck some circular thing on the top of it?

8/10
