Why is everyone getting there panties all bunched up about that building in Dallas. IMO, i thought is was ugly. For what im used to(northeastern and midwestern cities) Dallas has no density comparable and that picture posted up of the building didnt help support your argument. Putting up pictures of Dallas's skyline at a good angle doesnt help the fact that Dallas has sup-partial density. Also remember these three letters so this doesnt get out of hand....IMO
I'll tell you why people have a problem with someone saying that the BoA Plaza in Dallas is ugly....
It's not just a big glass box. It has shape and looks like a totally different building from different angles. It's a great example of post modern architecture.
Also, you have to keep in mind that Texas and skyscrapers in Texas are new compared to what you see in the northeast and most parts of the midwest, so you see a different overall style in the skylines of these sunbelt cities. Just because it's not art deco or beaux arts, doesn't mean that it's not good architecture.
ALOT of people like that building and other skyscrapers in Texas. And it may just be your opinion, but you have to remember..... there are people out there who don't like it.

But what does the density of the built environment have to do with the general attractiveness or lack thereof of a tower? If you think BOA Plaza is ugly, that's your opinion. But I don't get throwing unrelated facts into the discussion.

I didn't know people in Keyser, West Virginia spoke Korean.:
TOTALY! I encourage all to go to it. Its international airport is near downtown, connected by the light rail.
Isn't it just too funny how the first person to post this beautiful building in keyser mistook it for Huntington?? People of Keyser get so mad when they are mistook for Huntington.
