Looks pretty good.

Oh man...that one is just

ThatOneGuy · October 19th, 2012, 12:42 AM

Out of all the designs, they chose the ugliest one.

So 200m Foster is what we are getting. I'm perfectly fine with that.

I'm glad it's your ugliest, not mine

I like the fins' appearance better from the back. It gives the tower an art deco appearance from the rear.

And those interiors...

I agree, but i didn't like Rems's.

This should turn out beautifully. Foster will use very high-quality materials.

It should be around 800 feet tall to the top of the spire.

Which one was agreed upon here? Far right? I like them all too (except #3). I think the furthest-right is most "New York." Second from left is quite beautiful as well.

rencharles · October 19th, 2012, 05:24 AM

Well, I like design of Foster, but I prefer the design by Hadid, is insane. Anyway I am satisfied.

L&L did say that they were interested in using these architects for projects in the future. And I think Hadid was aware because she value-engineered the top of her tower. If she wasn't serious about winning their business, she would have produced a more visionary but economically unfeasible design.

In the end, it's really nothing special. Regardless, it's better than what's there at the moment, and at least nothing historical is being destroyed.

comet the cat · October 19th, 2012, 07:39 AM

Love the fins on the top, if it is built with those on top then that would be awesome!

ZZ-II · October 19th, 2012, 09:08 AM

The Zaha Hadid design is just fantastic

Eric Offereins · October 22nd, 2012, 12:12 AM

I would love to see that being built.

Kanto · October 22nd, 2012, 12:38 PM

Yup, the Hadid design is far better than what will be built there
