The roblem with the first designs was that they were hamstrung by 1) the victim mentality that refuses to build on the footprints and 2) the directive that the new buildings hold the same amount of office space. The second set of plans were a result of letting the archeticts(sp) run wild and be creative.

Just rebuilding the old towers would be a thousand times more asthetically pleasing, yes.

But that doesn't change the fact that I hated the old towers. They looked like a spaceship landed in the middle of our skyline.

Or more accurately, they looked like someone built a 1970's building smack in the middle of a bunch of 1900-1930's buildings.
