Beetham Tower Manchester

[logwhitley]

It looks unnecessary

[sup3rm1k3]

It looks very ugly and lonely. Aren't there any more tall buildings there? And why did they build it upside down?

[MrNapoleanDynamite1]

I really hate this building! I hope soon there will be a new, better looking tower to dominate Manchester's skyline and take attention away from that horrible design.

[G1NZOU]

Superb building, I love how you've got shots of the tower among the od brick buildings and railway lines, great fusion of old and new.

[retronostalgic]

I'm not sure about this building - it looks top heavy - as if it could topple over any minute!

[interfaceboyz]

bland looking biulding,,, no effort in design here,,, views of manchester are probably best feature... think i will go to dubai....

[G1NZOU]

@interfaceboyz Quantity over quality prevails in Dubai, stay here and watch the awesome towers being built in London.

[tonyjkerr]

holy shit that music freaks me out!!!!!!

[ChrisHarrison2k8]

I wouldnt compliment the appearance of the building.. especially the random mid-air ledge, what the hell? I just think they should of stuck with designing something that fitted the skyline better

[autowoft]

It shows what you know about architecture! the "blade" is there to mast the contrast between the sky and the building, who ever had the idea to put it on is amazing! because imagine it without! so don't go there.

[ChrisHarrison2k8]

I don't need to know anything about architecture to make an opinion, so back off

[dmtv74]

Just my opinion, but it looks like something out of "Brazil" or "Blade Runner". goddessecouture said it best with "futuristic industrial vision".

Still, I kinda like it.

[sutty7897]

the old fire station oposite picadilly is nicer

[goddessecouture]

I love architecture - and the quirky stuff is great - but personally I think this building is just plain ugly, from every angle. There's no beauty to it. It's like an abstract art interpretation of some dark, futuristic industrial vision... just disturbing.

[beethamhilton]

Although many people love the architecture of the Beetham Tower, its not everyones cup of tea! "Futuristic industrial vision", lol!

[pinje2006uk]

Great video of Beetham Tower, love the Apprentice music

[blackjackbarnet]

It howls during windy weather and is hardly the prettiest building in town. There are far better buildings to see in Manchester.... I promise you!

[beethamhilton]

What's your favorite building in Manchester then BlackJack!?

[blackjackbarnet]

Well, I'm a big fan of all the old mills surrounding the city. The railway arches are a technical wonder of their age. Manchester Art Gallery is beautiful, as is the town hall. John Rylands Library has to be the winner though. Can't beat a bit of Gothic!

[beethamhilton]

Yes, I really like the John Rylands Library too. Isn't it great how diverse the architecture is in Manchester city centre!

[coppull]

its worth a trip to Manchester just to see this tower

[dnetowers]

Not sure I'd go all the way to Manchester just to look at the Tower, but yeah maybe just to go up to the bar on the 23rd floor!

[beethamhilton]

Lots of people are saying this video seems "scary"! It was meant to be dramatic, but not scary!!!!

[glamourgirl2008]

Phil Neville,Gary Neville,Shayne Ward & Cristiano Ronaldo are all rumoured to have apartments in beetham tower!! Does look pretty scary though!! :|

[flagmanchris]

Nice selection of photos. Makes it look rather scary.... enhanced by the music!

[CreepyEyeStudios]

Reminds me oif a certain citadel from Half Life 2...

[brainydan]

idiot, this aint no computer game, its a real building - gimpazoid - you need to get out more.

[thelegoassassin]

Scary!

[samdearboy]

[gvosee]

Wow, makes the Beetham Tower look scary! lol!

[dnetowers]

Great photos, love the music!

[beethamhilton]

Glad you enjoyed it!
