um.....yah i'm not a huge fan of any of them. The first one (the one originally posted) I do like the concept cuz it's sorta like a "protective" barrier for the twin towers that went down....and then the other 2 are cool lookin and would look awesome in a huge new city...but NY is an old city and I think the buildings should embody some of that historical meaning. Right now I think all the designs that have been posted are gonna be huge monstrosities to the NYC skyline. Sure I'm the first to get drawn to real modern stuff...but I just think the new WTC would mean a lot more to "Americans" if it still embodied some of the Twin Tower's personality and had some historical NYC meaning behind the design. Just my opinion though.
