Last 4 Comments  Jackson - Wednesday, June 20th, 2007 @ 11:33am • Rating:  Four stars.It may not be a classic masterpiece but Jose Hernnandez is being pretty harsh. It's a decent building, I think the dome is appealing, and it is a very functional building as well.

Hats off to the architect and the clients/owner to break through otherwise boring and predictable Houston downtown skyline. Gordon Clunn - Friday, February 2nd, 2007 @ 6:36pm • Rating:  Five stars.The Building makes a bold statement on Houston,s skyline and will stand in time as a testament of good design.The Architects achieved their mission by designing a court house that goes with Houston and its prud history.Great Job and I am proud to of been a part of the team that construted it. Jose Hernandez - Sunday, August 6th, 2006 @ 9:34am • Rating:  One star.This building is a cartoon it has nothing to do with architecture and everything to do with poor taste(this is the nicest words I can use). the Columns are too tall and spindly, elements of the facade are poorly used, proportions are incredibly bad and the dome is unappealing. All in all I dont know how much this is the fault of the architect and how much it is the owner's fault for having accepted such mediocrity. I am really ashamed of this building(that is saying a lot since there are other not pretty buildings in houston). It would not be too much to ask them to tear it down in order to bautify the city.
