whoa.....

Yeah we will see where this project will be in 5 years. ;)

Also eariler in the thread it said only 1 of the towers would be built before 2010.
That leaves a LOT of time for this crazy growth in China to become a bust.
I see this a not much more than a "vision" But it's alright to be a bit paranoid, you'll get over it eventually. :) I was too, it just takes time. :)

I got a gift for you: http://www.nyc.gov/html/dcp/html/hyards/hymain.html
THAT makes me feel a bit better inside. :)

I don't think that particular plan is likely to happen, but in terms of skyscrapers we're still loosing control of our own destiny to the Asians; They're building all the tall buildings. Apart from the new WTC, I don't think the US will have another WTB for a very long time, and possibly never.

Oh hell no, IMO most of these wouldn't fit into the downtown skyline at all. They're too shiny, glossy, twisted, jagged, complicating, I know I want something simple built.

Please tell me these were designed after the Freedom tower was unveiled:

The similarities are scary.

^Are those towers shooting laser-beams at each other?

it looks kinda ok for me..

yeah, those guangzhou proposals for the new downtown's weird. some of the buildings are so twisted, they are painful to look at. all the others are either too bland, or too crazy...if they build any of them in nyc, the skyline's going down...

the freedom tower style proposal is not too bad. at least it's filled with floors almost all the way to the top (no lattice and windmills!). but the downside is that the buildings looks like they are about to break to pieces. definitely not a worthy wtc replacement.

If China is still arond as one state in 50 years half as powerfull as it is projected to be I will be very suprised.

Amazing, never seen something like it, wonderful.

A lot better than that stupif Freedom Tower, I love New York, but I hate the design of the most famous project.

Individually, those buildings look incredible, but as a skyline they would look terrible. There is absolutely no apparent rhyme or reason for their designs. There is too much motion and curvyness to most of them. Frankly Shanghai could use a good boxy design to give their skyline some cohesion and sanity.

These are just bad Chinese copies of (un)built towers by famous architects such as Mecanoo, Libeskind/Piano, Foster, Herzog & de Meuron, Calatrava and Eisenman.

I'll take the first and second towers instead of the Freedom Tower anyday.

the second towers looks cool

Hello everyone!!!
my name is Dmitriy im 19 y.o i love America but leve in Russia.

Still, these projects are a wet dream to any highriselover!

:OMFG:

what the hell :O amazing towers WOA

quite a few of these look structurally imposible

Haha, New York is a sad city. They choose the Freedom Tower design over theses concepts.

It's because New York doesn't know medern design.

Oh, hell no. They can keep those ass ugly designs.

I can't get over that teal one with the loop on top....holy crap those are insane. When I see the thousands of projects underway in China and Dubai, I wonder which one is more optimistic...and crazy.

NEW YORK IS A SAD CITY??



Excuse me, where do you live? :weirdo:

It's because New York doesn't know medern design.

Even if that had any truth to it, it's better not to know modern design than not to know the beautiful art deco and earlier styles.

There all just proposals on the same plot of land in Guangzhou...
