I think that thier massing is very interesting, but the facades are bland and uninspiring. The base is also quite unattractive, and doesn't seem to have any relation whatsoever to the towers it cohabitates with.

6.5/10

These towers are so large and dominating, which wouldn't necessarily be bad, except they look like a mistake from the 1970's. Could be much better, but could be worse too. 5.5/10

amazing considering KPF designed this...pretty boring..they could have done better but oh well....6.5/10

A bit too white?The curves are ok but that's it.
6.0/10

Deja vu all over again ... o dear, what a bore! I have repeatedly suspected that architects tend to run out of ideas. This is the perfect example. The connecting base sucks & therefore fails to fulfill its function. The towers themselves, while their shapes are fine, also disappoint me. No reason to make them lookalikes. Distressing that KPF came up with this in 1990.

A mere 6 (only because of the height).

3 Wow, this buildings look like they came straight out of the 70's... both are UGLY!

Modesty that worked out quite well in these towers.

CTroyMathis · April 19th, 2003, 10:09 AM

I don't mind them. They're nothing super special, but, they provide awesome views. 6.
