The towers in the front and left look like they could use some Viagra! A little soft looking.

You need to be a qualified architect with a creative vision to be able to think "outside the square..."
As I say, you really need to look at WWW.CHAI.TV colourful design sketches to be able to appreciate the CONTEMPORARY ARCHITECTURE

Pretty darned full of yourself, aren't you?

I am an artist and a New Yorker, and I don't need you to tell me what I "need".

Also, I looked there and can't figure out what the dsign is supposed to be. And yes, his site is full of himself. Anyone who puts his picture (and no real quals) on his own site must have a real self-confidence issue.

I guess I fell for his self-promotion but I am willing to look at anything since it would be better than what has been proposed so far. I looked at the Phoenix thing someone mentioned earler and it's a little better than the other proposals but still ain't it.

I keep thinking they need to broaden the range, maybe have the major archirecture/design schools come up with some ideas.

More like a phallic symbol! This is awful!

Glad it's not only me! Can you just hear it?

"Which part of the WTC do you work in ...?"

"Errrr......"
