Quite unique looking. Nice!

It is unique... dunno if i like it though....

They should just leave that shit alone!

looks cool

Only thing is with that pointy thing on top, if they do it again, I wouldn't want to be on the receiving end down below when that baby lands.

Ouch.

...btw, what's the purpose of that "pointy thing on top" :winkwink:

If you look at the pic on its side it looks like a rifle with a bayonet.

Wondering if it was intended that way.

They should have anti-aircraft missles mounted on the roof :2 cents:

Thats so it can be the tallest building in the world, reaching 1776 feet

They chose 1776 feet to commemorate the year 1776, the year that the USA gained independance

Or maybe they mean 1976 and it was to commemorate this:

Just a thought, those architects really like Fleetwood mac :Graucho

Looking good! :thumbsup

I think the project is awesome, but i want to see it realized. :2 cents:

It's awesome. It MUST be rebuilt!

It was a direct result of 911 that I began my more pro-active approach to sexual equality.

You got it!

:thumbsup

i fucking love it
any notes on when it should be done?

It's just - totally awesome.

Who ever came up with 1776 the year of independence - earned their pay that day.

Good job.

i like it :thumbsup

OH man, I saw all the designs, and never liked any of them.
I worked at the WTC for 2 years and knew 8 people (from the Port Authority) that were killed that day. I guess I just miss the WTC that was and nothing could take it's place.

... it's a 747 deflector.

The main building looks like shit :2 cents:

... too bad you guys didn't gain your independence in the year ONE ... otherwise a slab of VB would have done the job ...

That is so incredible looking...

I would love to see the USA to have the balls to put it up.


And say "Dont Fuck With Us!"

Make it so!

nice :thumbsup

Sweeet!:thumbsup

But does it say that, or does it say "here, have another go" ??

It looks like it's giving the finger. :glugglug

Is it actually going to be all crystal/reflective like that? If so, neato.
(tho I'd be afraid of a plane hitting it on accident in low visibility)

I like the slanted tops on the lower buildings, very futuristic.

Any idiot can put up a huge tower...a tower and a building in my mind anyways are two very different things. A building has usable space that people regularily use; easily to accessible to the public.

The new WTC will only have usable space upto about the 72th floor. The sears tower has usable space well above floor 100...I believe including the top floor 110! No other building in the world even comes close.

In regards to height, the Toronto spire has every other structure beat in regards to the highest observation deck. And the total height of the Toronto spire may be close to 1776 feet already - I wouldn't be surprised if they added a longer spire to beat the new WFC.

In my view, the new WTC is going to be OK, but certainly not anything exceptional...the real excitement right now in skyscraper construction is in Asia...and I wouldn't be surprised if in the near future a building there exceeds 2000 feet and the 110 mostly usable floors of the Sears tower.

Addendum:

I just did a Google...the Toronto tower already has the new WTC beat by about 40 feet...it's 1815 feet tall...and to think that was built nearly 30 years ago...seems to me for the new WTC to really be anything, it would have to be at least 2000 feet to generate any real excitement...why visit NYC when I can visit the Toronto tower today. New WTC hahahaha welcome to 20th century again...

Ron

The one in Toronto is a not a building where people work/live...it is a poured concrete slab with an observation area near the top. While exceptional especially for its time, it cannot be compared to a building like the new WTC (which I really like).
