2 Finalists for WTC reconstruction

[skace]

The skeleton one looks very interesting... but I can't help think about how much space is being wasted in that design.

 

[yellowperil]

I agree with the lease-holder of the WTC site - doesn't seem practical to have such tall structures built. Rather than being ostentatious in building the tallest building in the world, with the most progressive designs, they should be more concerned about safety. 300+ ft higher than the original WTC is worrying. The THINK building while interesting doesn't inspire much confidence in me at all about being safe.

 

God, they are both so ugly. Neither.

 

[Iwentsouth]

Why don't they try building a building? Those not building things suck.

 

[Nitemare]

Both designs suck major ass. THINK sucking more. If I were a New Yorker I'd be furious that both of these were finalists. That would be the equivalent of giving a man on death row a choice for his last meal of taco bell or hardee's.

Why not build 3 instead of 2? There is ample room for three.

The only one that does not look like it was designed by an artist on crack.

Are you on crack?!?!?

 

[jjones]

They both look like a waste of space to me; I can't decide which one is uglier.

me to, but since i have no power @ all over what they do there then i will go with THINK, it looks pretty cool

 

[StinkyPinky]

This is what happens when you get "artists" instead of architects doing this stuff. My god, both of those things would ruin New York. They are repulsive.


Modern day art really is a joke.

 

[lupy]

Instead of building office towers/memorials, we should build a space elevator that goes all the way up to the moon, now that would be cool.

 

[CraigRT]

I wonder who is picking these finalists...

 

[Kenazo]

Flash back to SimCity 2000. I want to see some archaologies... Darco Arco perhaps? Or the Launch Arco. The sad thing is these two designs seem just as infesible.

 

[Gooberlx2]

I think they're both ugly as hell.

Just don't want Tic tac toe buildings, the world's largest atrium, or something that looks like a disposable razor

 

[DevilsAdvocate]

What about just building 2 large office buildings with a fountain in front? A really nice fountain, or something like that.

These are atrocious.

 

[GoingUp]

both are ugly as sin

 

[Amused]

Neither.

I understand the need for a memorial and can even agree with leaving the footprints of the old towers alone... However, both plans offer huge buildings that are nothing more than giant wastes of space. What does that mean? They're be giant money pits.

 

[acidvoodoo]

think

 

[exp]

Those are both butt-fugly. :Q

Maybe a lawsuit by the people of NY could stop construction...that's probably wishful thinking, though.

 

[idNut]

They should just rebuild them identical but even stronger than the originals. We definitely should rebuild them just to say F_ck you Bin Laden. Like he didn't do anything to us.

I don't fully understand Think's design. They look like they are wire with a connecting bridge.

The dots are there because i cant use spaces (the dots are meant to mean FREE SPACE: NOTHING IS THERE)

 

[BeauJangles]

They should build four or five smaller towers, and make them nice, not these huge impractical monstrosities.
