Well that entire city stands out badly in bad way so it suits it well

I agree. I usually don't like a single tower unless they are a clear landmark with good aesthetic visibility (for example at an end of a big street or as a 'gate' to a certain district).

The Turning Torso looks only like a huge penis out of place.

What do you guys think of this building? It was named the best tall building in the world a few years ago, though it isn't that tall.

Looks like the architect's kid's been playing around a bit with lego

Looks like stacked blocks of cheddar cheese (now I'm hungry). It's out of character with the surrounding area.

I like it except for the windowless sides. The otherwise delicate and slender appearance is ruined. The side looks too bulky.

Even more evident at this angle:

It'd be cool if someone built a proper Tower of Bable in real life, like 3 km tall

Lol. Don't get me started on buildings out of place... This is what my city has spent most of its budget on for the last few years and everybody hates it...

Yeah, I don't like the blank walls either. I prefer the building closer to ground level.

Neat, rather stark contrast with the building to its front. I don't like the windowless side either
