Gee, what can you say that hasn't been said already about this one.

Whether you like, dislike or feel indifferent about it, you have to admire and appreciate it for its innovative design.

10

BTW Love those aerials.

Very hard to take this design serious.

My guess is that this British Sir Norman Foster's building is the result of a typical "Emperor wearing no clothes" situation.

1.5/10

I think I shouldnt be angry with the people who rate badly the brazilian buildings, since EVEN this MARVELLOUS building received a shitty rating from some people...

Well, this is one of those that you either like, or you don't. I could understand why some one wouldnt like, I mean it does look like a giant you know what.

sorry, I dont think so. A penis has a VERY different format. This building has a bullet format. It has... hmmm... whats the english word... a "pointy" top, if you know what I mean. A penis doesnt have a pointy top. The penis head looks like a WW2 german helmet. This building doesnt looks at all like a penis.
