The THINK team, led by New York-based architects Rafael Vinoly and Frederic Schwartz, proposed the World Cultural Center, whose lacy 1,665-foot towers have been called 21st-century Eiffel Towers.

I've seen their proposal, they should THINK a little harder.

World Cultural Center? Why not a giant sign that says "KICK ME"?

This process is so ass backwards I don't even know where to begin. Let's have a real open competion for the design, witha wide field of judges. I don't trust the LMDC to make this decision for the rest of us.

Recurring turf battles over control of the site may complicate the decision-making.
The battle at hand is not over turf but whether there was one incident or two.

Think

One of three designs offered by architectural consortium Think, this is the tallest of all nine proposals. In it, three towers (one reaching a dizzying 2,100ft) surround a raised 'skypark' climbing 10 stories into the air.

Studio Daniel Libeskind

Daniel Libeskind, designer of Berlin's Jewish Museum, offers a 1,776ft glass tower that contains plants and foliage. The proposal easily exceeds the height of Malaysia's Petronas Towers, currently the world's tallest building at 1,483ft.
