wow its supposed to have windmills on top to generate power..70 floors or office space..and radio antennas on top... what a good thing to build right there eh? sad

Supposed to be the new Tallest Building in the world.

Plans look really cool. I had some really cool experienced in the WTC years ago **coughinmyyouthcough** I can't wait to go back to the new designed building

NyC-gUrL
they should build a pyramid there yes

diegocala
Like a casino?

Tex
It's ugly!
Looks like any modern skyscraper with a glass spire on top!
Crap! Pure unimaginative crap! sick

NyC-gUrL
eek! yes UHUH!

diegocala
I think they ruled out using pretty pastels laughing out loud

burlyman

i didn't even want leibeskind to win...it's too short and the only thing that will make it the tallest building is the 226 foot radio tower at the top...so dumb

by the time it's finished it probably won't even be the tallest building in the world, or for a short period of time

Tex
Yeah! The Twin Towers were mammoth! Huge! True lankmarks!

This freedom tower looks like a regular skyscraper!
I mean it will only have 60 floors, the rest will be empty crap that is just intended to make it tall!

Ugh, not good at all!

And to think it's construction alone will be over 1 billion dollars!

Hmmm, maybe it will look better once it's actually built, designs always look like crap on paper!

cermiestar
shouldn't they just....leave it.....2000 people did die there after all...

LanceWindu
Just build a wall with everyones names on it, and that's it.

I know I wouldn't want to work in an office building that is built upon the ground where so many people died.

cermiestar
precisely.

burlyman
yeah

Tex
It's not, they building around it, nothing will be built on the foot steps of the old towers.

It would probably be a good idea to not rebuild the trade center there, but seeing as it is NYC, there's no room anywhere else to build it.

And not building it isn't an option either, Manhattan lost 10,000,000 SF of much needed office space on 9/11.
They have to rebuild.

cermiestar
still....sad that they have to

i think rebuilding is the best and only option they have. Like someone said above their's no where else to build it, lower manhatten needs the space for business anyway and besides i think it's about time we got some real modern skysrapers in nyc...this design is too short for my taste though.

KidRock
all people give a shit about is the money they will make off the new building they could care less about the people

cermiestar
they should keep some memorial.....

Tex
They are, the memorial will be built around the footsteps of the old towers with a 9/11 musuem built underground.

catfish
i agree with my sister, there should be a memorial

finti
why would they build another bullseye?

catfish
yeah!

Fire
they really sure about the windmills?
