I was in Tel Aviv earlier this year (2002) and there was still a crane on top of that building, it shouldn't have been a candidate in 2001. I'm not sure if it was finally completed this year or not, maybe someone who was in Tel Aviv after me could tell ?

Whether it was finished or not, it was still considered a candidate and I know at least one senior editor was rooting for it. But mistakes have been made and we all know what should win this year, eh?

Cool, except windows need to be darker, and it is a bit boring in some areas.

Wow!

Why does Israel have such a tall building.

I like it,

I'm still looking for a building that manages to successfully combine a round tower with another building with right angles. I'm afraid this one also fails my test (can it be done?).

Also, the shiny fassade of the round part must be downright blinding in the bright sun of Israel!

Nonetheless, 7.

Looks like a different building from different sides...9/10.

8.5 What a daring building! Very beautiful and elegant... and unique...

Too many decorative elements applied to its exterior. Nice to see that the windows can actually be opened (alas, that's the only interesting aspect about it).

TropicalSQ744 · May 4th, 2003, 10:21 AM

Slim and cylindrical... not bad at all..

However it strikes me why the crown is lit with purple.. I think someother colour would better!
