The two beams of light, outshine any of these buildings.

I agree 100%

I agree. Both designs are awful. They need to either rebuild the Towers as they were or come up with something relatively similar. Those mesh structures resemble amusement park rides.

That one is giving Al-Qaeda the finger.

No more little Brasilias!
Give us something pretty that fits into the skyline like a Neo-Art Deco with a promenade.

Liebskind will surely be chief designer in hell.

This is wildly ugly and unsettling.

If they are going to pick a design, the following should be the one. Bigger, bolder, and better while at the same time memorializing.

Here is a photo of the concept. Definitely the direction to go. Call the NYC LMDC and tell them to ashcan the two current considerations.

[Petronski]

I think the Memorial Circle is delightfully overwrought and gigantically stonehengian. It gets my vote.

[Johassen]

Both towers would be the world’s tallest structure.

I don't see how the 1776 foot spire is a contender for this designation.

I don't see how the 1776 foot spire is a contender for this designation.

I don't understand why the Petronas Towers are considered taller than the Sears Tower, when when are not.
