I like it, kind of reminds me of the New Museum, though obviously on a much larger scale and wearing a suit.
Is it just a lighting effect or is the cityscape actually transitioning from beige to silver?
So, a tower that looks like it's falling. huh...
It's a tower... that looks like... it's... falling?
Really?
Which is the beauty of the thing. A very simple gesture (stagger/sliding the floor plates) results in drastically different experiences depending on your perspective around the building. Its a sculpture that is both elegant and dramatic.It only looks like it's falling from that particular angle, it looks less freaky otherwise:

I actually quite like the new design, even though all the skycraper enthusiasts' reactions seem to range from dislike to disgust.
Looks like a "fat" PS2.
Beetham Tower in Manchester:
Freaks me out every time I see it.
Yep, been up there - i don't like it at all.
I love how people immediately regurgitate the same "Fucking hideous" responses that seem so commonplace when a skyscraper design that's not utterly by the numbers is revealed. You guys must be a blast at parties.
Honestly... think they should have just rebuilt the original towers, twice as tall.
Always though their minimalism stood serene against the rest of the skyline.
What type of lame ass parties discuss architecture? Are those considered parties? Were there presentations and a lobby at this party?I love how people immediately regurgitate the same "Fucking hideous" responses that seem so commonplace when a skyscraper design that's not utterly by the numbers is revealed.

Doge quotes? Really? That meme is starting to rot already.
Nah, it would have been a total boss 80's shark power move.Yep, they were great. Recreating them would have been just a sad thing to do though.

I disagree, not that their.design wasn't good, that's subjective. But I feel like the way the memorials are built, it wouldn't fit to just rebuild them even taller.Honestly... think they should have just rebuilt the original towers, twice as tall.

I love it.

It's funny how the original towers are looked back on fondly since they were destroyed, considering they were derided as soon as the designs were unveiled, and kept being derided probably all the way until September 10th, 2001.
Having an office right on the lip of one of those overhangs won't be terrifying
Nope
Not at all

THIS
You literally could not have picked a worse place for a design like this
You took the time to make a proper shadow, though. Gold star!Mmh...
EDIT: beaten
I get why they made One World Trade Center the height that it is but why not go for the record of tallest building and leave the second building at 1776 feet.
We've lost our winning spirit smh

The instant a height was set it would be outdone in like 5 years
Fuck it, should have made it a space elevator
