It looks too good to be true. It wont get full marks as its just a fantasy.

my favorite entry of the bunch. After seeing the presentations, I was sold. I didn't like this building at first, it was too tall. But it grew on me to a point that I wished that this was the winner.

I give it 9.5/10

Almost as ugly as can be. 3/10 for sure.

9/10.. The towers themselves are not bad, with some modifications/tweaking and the colors should be adjusted. They are good towers but not for New York City or the WTC Site.

7 : original but looks too thin and fragile !?

wouldn't trust such a structure, especialy during a earthquake.

I think judging from a drawing is not a good idea, so I won't rate. But I want to congratulate New York for escaping the fate of having to live with this monstrosity.

I like it! Tall and glassy!

But they'll never build it, let's face it, with so many hands stirring the pot the one factor you can be sure of is that whatever they build it will be shit!

I actually like it, I dont think the images represent it fairly, although perhaps a darker coloured glass to make it appear less dazzling and similiar to the original WTC.

6.5/10

i don't this proposal would ever match the original twins, but it's the closest of the 7 plans to the original gradeur of the twins. it's the only one of the plans that have towers that really soar without looking like a bunch of tangled mass (like united architects). and it's my fave of the seven (too bad pataki and silverstein don't think so). the towers look really dominating and powerful when viewed from the southwest, but from the north and south it looks more like a single building though, which is not that great.

7.5 (i still prefer the twins over this any day)
