Skyscraperblogging

Freedom Tower
Version 1Version 2Version 3

Ok. Version one, I like. Version two, I really liked. Sure, it's kind of skeletal, but it's awesome. Version 3.. I've tried to like it. I have. I don't hate it... I just don't like it. It's to obelisky. It's unoriginal. It looks too much like the John Hancock Center. I just don't like it. I'd almost go so far as to say I think it's ugly. *sigh* That's what we get for being obsessed with terrorism.

Fordham Spire

Ah, the Fordham Spire. Now, you all know that I fell in love with Chicago when I went there for 4 days. Well, I approve. Just tall enough to make itself noticed, yet graceful enough not to overpower the other buildings. And yes, it does look like a giant drill bit. But I like it. This is officially my new pet skyscraper project. Screw the Freedom Tower.


Burj Dubai

The Burj Dubai. What can I say. It is a little bit tall for the surrounding buildings, and it does look a little out of place, but I must admit it is a fine piece of architecture. And it is very impressive, I'll give it that. If only it was gonna be here. Why the United Arab Emirates?

And that's my skyscraperblogging.
