How would you rate the WTC proposal "glass tower"?

It is my personal favorite out of all the buildings proposed.

I like the fact that it dictates the idea of the old WTC, but no. Yuck.

4/10

7.5

I do like the cross-bracing structural elements which are visible. Looks classy in glass, but unoriginal.

I like it when people say the new designs for the new WTC don't give the feeling of the old ones but when elegant, glass towers that are much taller and larger than the original ones and even mimic them too, everyone says they are plain and unimaginative! I like them a lot. Much better than Libeskind's and Childs'!

The original Towers had a very strong facade with simple soaring vertical columns. Rebuilding to this design combined with a stronger internal structure would replace the missing piece of New York's heart. It would state clearly that we will prevail. RIP those lost 9/11/01

6/10. I like the fact that there trying to re-create what once stood there. Prefer the old WTC towers though although the proposed ones would still have fit in well with the surrounding buildings.
