WTC down to two choices

Pics on this site suck, but I can\'t find the old pics.

Both of these buildings make it the worlds tallest building.  One is nasty.  The big erector set looking thing.

I prefer the first one, more traditional look.

Neither one really fits.  Both are good looking structures overall, but I really don\'t like the idea of having either one.  I really think that the space should be turned into a memorial, and not into a place for of business.  New York City has always been a pretty special place for me.  I go there a lot, and I just couldn\'t see either of these things going there.  They just don\'t seem like they\'d fit in with the New York Skyline.  I\'d like to see an image of what they think the entire New York skyline would look like with the towers there.  If I had to choose one, I think I\'d go with the Studio Daniel Libeskind design, but I really wouldn\'t like either one.

Ugh..

What happened to the traditional way of designing buildings?
I think they should choose one that goes with the Empire State Building “theme”, ESB is one of the most beautiful buildings in NY IMO (I like the Chrysler building also).

These sci-fi crap designs are UGLY.

I now realize that no one reads past the first post.  I posted pics from MSNBC in the second post.  There are several pics of both designs that are very large of both.

I see no problem with the one on the left, though some of the other design choices from earlier were better.

Personally I think it would be better to build a permanent shrine to those who lost their lives. This would include a nice grassy area with flowers and seating somewhere that people could sit and pay their respects.

I like the lattice one, looks like the old ones and gives more of a shrine look. I don\'t want them to build some mega ass tower on that site, I think thats really dissrespectful.
