The plot in october 2006, pics by staff

They are constructing a subway station too. Anyway we need updates, almost 6 months!

ZZ-II · March 25th, 2007, 06:48 PM

so it is UC?

Phobos · March 25th, 2007, 08:58 PM

I'm not a fan of any of these proposals but I'll go with Foster,even though I remeber seeing a similar proposal like that for another project.

Peloso · March 25th, 2007, 09:05 PM

Some people would go with Foster just anywhere...

Number 2! Number 2!

Well,I'm not one of these.In fact,I hate most of his projects,but there are always exceptional cases.

Sure! But I was not talking about you. It just came to my mind, nothing related to your post, just an exceptional coincidence.

Sbz2ifc · March 25th, 2007, 09:22 PM

Well... I'd choose Foster's as well, because the other ones just look too simple... or should i say boring?!

Peloso · March 25th, 2007, 09:28 PM

Strange... Foster looks the simplest to me, 4 boxes (basically) and one cylinder...

I didn't say you were talking about me.I just wanted to state that well,and your comment was a good opportunity for that

Well... from what I see (and read) in the first post, project #3 (SOM's... not Foster's) is the one with four boxes and a cylinder...

You were not talking about me, but you were answering me, since your phrase "well I'm not one of these" (rheme) cannot stand alone and it's incomprehensible without a previous claim (theme). And since you answered me, I just had to wake you to the reality that you were not the one I was referring to.

Oh, ok, I mistook one for another. But then I prefer cylinders and boxes over those zig-zagging buildings

ZZ-II · March 25th, 2007, 10:27 PM

my favourite is fosters. SOM is ugly!

Inspirit · March 28th, 2007, 12:13 AM

A little about plagiarism.

If you combine the top and the spire of the first project of Freedom Tower (by Daniel Libeskind)

[IMG]

[/IMG]

and the rest part of the last project of Freedom Tower (by Libeskind too)..

..in one, what would you have??

You're quite right! Foster's project!!!

(pic by z0rg)

What do you think about it?

Nightsky · March 28th, 2007, 12:41 AM

You are right! May be the architect was inspired by these two proposals. Or may be it is just a coincidence.

CULWULLA · March 28th, 2007, 12:47 AM

so is this uc? approved? proposed? please put status in title.

Sagaris · March 28th, 2007, 05:08 AM

The plagiarism argument is not valid as Foster's Xujiahui proposal is a million times better than any Freedom Tower proposal. Maybe Foster looked at the Freedom tower proposals, and was inspired to make something better out of the promising pieces, though it is probably just coincidence.

Stephan23 · March 28th, 2007, 09:12 AM

Like the Foster proposal!! And yes, it looks not only a little bit like the Freedom Tower in NY.
