I love the new TV tower... its a sculpture in itself, an observation deck, and anchors the new city axis. :
Yes. (to the former)

I also love the TV tower.

Oh my god, this is officially one of the filthiest buildings everrr! This whole area is amazing, that zaha hadid building looks amazing and that other boxy one really surprised me, I had no idea the sun would reflect so much! Itt looks so cool with that orange glow!

It'd look a lot sharper with uncolored glass. The green gives it a cheap look.

I really like the way they've made those massive cross braces look so good. This is a truly great tower in my opinion.

I like it. Even better than SWFC. In fact, I like the look of the city more than Shanghai.

I'm sorry, this tower just looks cheap for some reason. The glass looks like a thin film of plastic.

It's funny how opinions vary. For the very same reason above that makes you think it looks cheap, i think the clear glass makes the tower looks beautiful.

i usually hate cross bracing when its on a box or a conventional building shape but i love how its hidden in plane sight here and theres no vertical beams that throw it off.
