It looks uninspired to me. Very plain.

I'm ok with it. It's much better than the squat plain buildings the insurance companies suggest. To me it suggests a big American finger to the terrorists.

Ping.
(from the article) The plan calls for a cable suspension structure that creates an open area above the building's 70 floors of office space, and houses windmills to generate energy. The windmills could provide 20 percent of the building's energy.

PUKE! An unfinished building. No observation deck, no restoration of Windows On The World. Cowards...

A German project - and an insult to the WTC dead

The open framework at the top bugs me. Looks unfinished, like scaffolding. It will also projects an eternal sense of fear -- like we're afraid to actually use the space they stole from us.

neat... you can see through it!

I wonder how they are going to make it out of translucent crystal.

I don't like the top, looks funky. Why wouldn't they just rebuilt Towers, it would be cheaper. But, I am not on architect, but one thing is for sure: NYC skyline has to be reclaim again.

I don't like the top, looks funkyI heard Dred Dicker of the NY Post say it's awful.

A German project Yeah, those "Germans" really are nasty when they let us military bases that give the United States and Britain easy access to a large part of the Eastern hemisphere.
Imagine if ALL Germans believed that our media represents the views of ALL Americans. It doesn't, and you shouldn't judge the people of an entire country through one dimension.
Besides, Germans are known to be pretty good engineers. why would their involvement in a creative engineering project be an insult?
