I'm glad they chose the Think design. The think design seems to be the one that most closely resembles the original and works well as a memorial. As a kid, I watched the WTC go up, as an adult I was on Vesey and West Street when the North Tower came down. Now my kids will be able to watch the new WCC go up.

Yes, the worst one, with the crypto-airplane crashing through it.
Figures.

I absolutely loathe that desogn. It looks like something al-Qaeda would erect to commemorate their glorious attack on the United States.
To: gaucho
This design looks like a "skeleton" of the original towers, and that to me doesn't make sense. IMHO either rebuild the original towers only safer, or build something that is forward-thinking and unique. This lattice-work structure is neither.

The offices must be inside the two flying saucers at the tops of the scrap heaps...and those cheap rubber ball things that look like the ones the discount stores put into wire cages to display, and in that THING that looks like it's crashing through both scrap heaps.

There will be a group of relatively low office building surrounding the two towers.
To: Motherbear
The offices will be built into building around the site. The 2 WCC towers will use the same footprint as the original WTC towers. I think it works well as a memorial. It's almost like a ghost of what was and to remind people of what happened there.

It looks like scaffolding, an unfinished worksite... What is that wierd white thing in the middle?
It's gross and absurd.
To: RoughDobermann
WTC wasn't the tallest while it was standing.
