#150 l The Tower l DUBAI l 243m l 54fl - Page 2

8/10 - Takes to the sky well, and I like the contrast between the dark glass and light trim of the facade. The facade catches the light well, the trim helps the height, and the lattices extending outward are a good touch.
I couldn't quite tell about the top and the base, though...

The building is interesting, its nice. I would give it 8 out of 10. It fits in nicely with the other buildings in the sheikh zayed road

6/10

Decent, but not my type.

Bahraini Spirit · January 5th, 2003, 07:52 PM

I changed my mind, I just came from dubai yesterday and boy is this tower sooooooooo nice especiall at night. The pics are very bad and once i have the privelage of posting attachments i would send some really good ones of this tower. I would give it 9.5 out of 10.

The Messiah · February 26th, 2003, 03:57 PM

I don't like this one

The top is even worse then the rest of the tower

5.0/10

I really don't like this one... looks better in the renderings... it's way too slim... the glass is a pretty azure... but the ornamentation is very ungainly... and that top, oh dear!

Looks like an existing Venetian tower. I don't know what to say about it any more than that.

CTroyMathis · April 19th, 2003, 05:49 PM

Maybe it looks better in person, nevertheless it's somewhat interesting. 7.

Wisma · April 23rd, 2003, 10:18 AM

***Chad*** · April 24th, 2003, 05:17 AM

TropicalSQ744 · May 3rd, 2003, 07:17 PM

I don't like this thing... IMO the blue glass dosen't go well with the rest of the cladding (the white lines)

6.5/10

rj2uman · May 26th, 2003, 06:56 PM

So is this an office or what? 6/10

not really that bad. well, not as bad as the other scrapers on the bottom of the list. 6/10. and nice name. maybe the other scrapers in that area are not considered towers.

james2390 · August 7th, 2003, 05:07 PM

8, looks neat

renell · August 28th, 2003, 11:17 PM

i dunno what i gave this one originally. but if i would rate it again, i'd give it a 7.5/10

boring name, but the scraper isn't really.

August 29th, 2003, 05:29 AM

1/10

What a joke! Looks like they tried to make it look Egyptian! Horrible!

AtlanticaC5 · August 29th, 2003, 02:48 PM
