I am not sure I like it, but it seems to be an improvement over the things they showed the last time.

Thank you.

Could you set up a thread showing pictures of PHOENIXI in the News/Activism forum so that many more could see it and discuss it?

Thanks again.

Beats the hell out of the banal. And a giant schlong is certainly a fitting symbol of the New York financial district.

I don't think Gaudi's design is appropriate in WTC site. The towers should be designed with modern contemporary style fitted in today's period.You can see a good quality CONTEMPORARY design of the WORLD MEMORIAL SQUARE at WWW.CHAI.TV web site to compare with Gaudi's. WORLD MEMORIAL SQUARE
The urban space of The World Memorial Square is the world's biggest living memorial place on earth. The dynamic, contemporary urban square is defined by the mixture of irregularly controlled stepped (set-back) low rise (3 to 5 storey) and medium rise (6 to12 storey) buildings as a backdrop. The end of the square is terminated with a major focal point of the twin towers which represents a gateway entry to Lower Manhattan city.

The gateway provides a strong visual connection to other open space which leads to the Transit Centre. Heavy and soft landscape with water, trees and greeneries will bring back with nature and generate a new life to the city growth.

The heart, diversity and vibrancy nature of the World Memorial Square consists of spiritual, memorial place and cultural ceremonial place, mixture of medium and high rise commercial towers, street level retail precints and underground shopping centre, residential towers and townhouses, cultural centres such as opera house and theatre halls and recreation facilities. All these mix use development will bring back a city living place with a sense of community lifestyle living, a place for national gatherings, celebrations and aspirations.
