I like the new design. It has clean lines and looks good. I especially like that strange skirt thing at the bottom. This building will be a true original.

It's much better than that design where it was supposed to mimic the statue of liberty's arm. Yuck, what was up with that?

And as I said, any country with an inferiority complex will complete a bigger one mere weeks after this borefest's completion. The only "interesting" aspect of your crappy little block will be forgotten in weeks, and you'll remain with an embarassingly not-high-enough borefest

The old WTC was brilliant at distance, even though it might have been different close by.

The elegance of simplicity.

I'm being sincere too when I say I like the old WTC. Especially because they were twins.

Admittedly, it doesn't have to be in the same colour or with that steel frame, but keep the cubes. (or rectangles or whatever)

The new design would be better if they gave it a twin. I don't see why they're shying away from having twin towers again. It's why they were iconic. I think having two new identical twins would be great.

I don't think it'd make as good a pair, but yeah, it'd bring more mystique to it.

Truth.

You know, Boris, we may disagree on a lot, but we also agree on a great many things.

I'd still slay you if I had the chance, though.

That's not a building though, it's a free standing structure, like CN Tower in Toronto.
