World Trade Center (Proposal), New York City

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'!
