By re-erecting a twin tower form to commemorate twin tower is so narrow minded and amateur.
What really have to be re-erected is the landmark and landscape of lower Manhattan, NYC, the pride of NYC, by whatever forms of building as long as it stands harmonically with surrounding skyscrapers , those financial buildings. When any architect is trying to do this, he must keep it in mind that what is New Yorkers most proud of and what makes lower Manhattan so attractive; nothing related to called “advanced artistic creative”, but the power of financial industry. Thus, it’s got to be a solid building that facilitates financial working force,symbolically and elegantly. What confused me is where are the 3 skyscrapers? they are missing from the panorama.
Real new Yorkers are still too optimistic to give it a sh**t on worrying about another attack as a coward and they more care to cure the wounds than mourn on it
This design is cool, but not cool for lower Manhattan.
