Please...build the first design!!

 

[ThatOneGuy]

^^ Well, there aren't really any square supertall twin skyscrapers currently existing so they might as well build a pair. But the base tridents are remniscent...

 

[ThatOneGuy]

Oh my god, this is actually going up! In the best design! I had nearly convinced myself that square supertall twins would never again be built, but it seems we have gotten lucky!
:banana:

 

[ThatOneGuy]

They're rising!!!!! :dance:

The site looks quite a lot like the 1966 WTC site, even with the underground 'bathtub'

 

[ThatOneGuy]

The NYC twin towers didn't have concrete cores either :shifty:

 

[ThatOneGuy]

much smaller than the world trade center though.

Hey, it's just 10 meters shorter

 

[ThatOneGuy]

Don't forget the crown height.


Still, it's about the design, not the height. These will look good even if they are not that tall.

 

[ThatOneGuy]

This will look so good! The last pictures really make it look like the WTC did in its construction.

 

[ThatOneGuy]

Are these windows!?

The blue things are not windows.

 

[ThatOneGuy]

I'm just glad some city in the world has supertall rectangular twin towers to admire since the NYC twins are gone.

 

[ThatOneGuy]

^^In China there are construction zones for entire business districts.

 

[ThatOneGuy]

Unfortunately if you remove the spire height it's only 300-something meters, so it's a bit far from the original twins' height.

 

[ThatOneGuy]

Many people think WTC was more beautiful than Petronas, a poll here even shows it. It's barely under Petronas in popularity. A glass patronas would look kitsch as well.

 

[ThatOneGuy]

The spires are an integral architectural piece, they'd better not remove them. hno:

 

[ThatOneGuy]

But if it was a whackier kitsch shape like Petronas Towers you wouldn't say 'Petronas Towers wannabes' :lol:

 

[ThatOneGuy]

Tell me, which other country could pull off something like the above picture? While Moscow is struggling to finish its IBC China just clears construction sites that could cover half a typical American city center in itself!

 

[ThatOneGuy]

Hope we'll see glass soon.

 

[ThatOneGuy]

Only in China^^

 

[ThatOneGuy]

Yes it's cladding.
