That´s a sweet angle to view the tower.

I guess it's taller than CITIC Plaza now.

Indeed, it is. The angle makes the buildung look even taller. Beautiful.:tup:

That tower just dominates the landscape around it.

I love how subtle the skeleton of this building is. reminds me of a jellyfish or an X-ray photo.. :)

In this picture the tower reminds me of a VERY modern version of John Hancock. The beams, the floors, the shape and the two cranes at the top. Hmm... maybe it's just me...

^^^ Almost though the the same, but without the mast.

Im starting to get very impressed. Man, I wonder what it would look like if it came to a point at the top

Coldrsx Dec 23, 2008 9:58 PM

i almost forgot about this one... wow!

Aleks Dec 24, 2008 8:32 AM

The tower would be ruined if it came to a point. I love this tower though. One of the best towers going up in the world. Better than Trump, Freedom Tower and Burj Dubai. You can really see the difference in floor heights at the top where the towers turns into a hotel.

The X bracing is fantastic - like John Hancock, retooled for the 21st Century.

Austin55 Dec 24, 2008 5:24 PM

Yeah, Ive never really seen anything like it. it takes a bland tower and turns it into a landmark.

^^^Please don't, they should keep ths same design

Hoodrat Dec 26, 2008 7:04 PM

That's just dumb to change the design. The whole gateway look will be ruined.

MapleLeaf Dec 26, 2008 9:36 PM

Twin Tower West is so beautiful. Why don´t they just build a 2nd one instead of this other design? :shrug:

koops65 Dec 30, 2008 6:43 PM

IMO they won't be TWIN towers if they change the design of the second one...
