[dolph]

now this is a new one:
movement growing for never realized gaudi building

*sigh*

 

[hdeck]

oh dear...

 

[DeafeningSilence]

It would certainly be one-of-a-kind. Gaudi was always very unique -- maybe it would fit NYC well!

 

[Bignate603]

gaudi... gaudy? coincidence? I think not.

 

[nachiketa1]

looks like a dildo.

 

[notfred]

Looks better than most of the designs that were proposed on that other site a while back.

 

[Toasthead]

well it IS gaudy ( gaudi)

[KahunaHube]

they should make the new building in the shape of a tree, expanding a the top with offices as branches. That be pretty damn cool

I'm still partial to this design. New WTC

Yes, giving a big 'fvck you" to New York City.

I think it looks pretty cool.

The Cathedra de Sagrada Familia in barcelona was designed by gaudi, as was much of their architecture. it's some amazing stuff. check it out:
barcelona
cathedral
i dont know that would look in NYC as a skyscraper. the pic looks cool, kind of rocket-ship-ish. but i think most people would rather the traditional building. Gaudi had some wonderful and eccletic designs, but i dont think their appropriate for this setting.

I am sending you the bill to get the cola out of my keyboard that I just spit onto it...

 

[sandorski]

Whoa! I dunno, that design looks hella cool to me.

 

[SSP]

Looks much better then the POS they had on the other story.

I was thinking the design was featured somehow in "Flesh Gordon".

 

[Shantanu]

All the designs suck. I don't see why there even has to be a costly public referendum on this. Whoever owns the site should just build whatever they want, and that should be the end of it.

meh, I didn't like Gaudi's architecture much. It was kind of modern art, yeah, but not something that should be put to replace such a landmark.

What? [just asking mode] This would be the epitome of a landmark, wouldn't it?[/just asking mode]
