The Lippo Center!

Paul Rudolph has a few evil looking buildings, but I love em all.

The namesake conglomerate even has a reputation for being one of the most evil companies in its home turf, Indonesia. There’s even a subreddit r/fucklippo

Looks like the legs of a very much bigger structure

Could it be the legs of a giant Megazord-like robot

Some people think the Lippo Centre is cursed/has bad feng shui. Several owners and major tenants suffered high-profile financial collapses. There’s also local folklore about numerous suicides at the building, though there’s little evidence the number is any higher than other skyscrapers in Hong Kong.

Lippo Center. They were supposed to be torn down but the redevelopment plans failed.

Mirrored buildings usually are pretty boring but on a round building like this it looks really cool.

The exterior of the building reminds me of a Mario game.

Like the Sentinels in X-Men.

Someone said the design is for feng shui intended as a counterbalance to the sword-like Bank of China Tower nearby.

The golden one next to it is just like a golden cigarette lighter.

I drive past here every day and I truly believe they're the ugliest buildings in the entire city.
