Via Project Rebirth, which chronicles the rebuilding of Ground Zero, we have these pictures of the redesigned Freedom Tower:
Regarding the previous design, I’ve commented: Rebuild the Twin Towers, and Do it Right (The ‘Freedom Tower’ WTC Design Must Never Be Built).
But this new design appears to me to be all right. It’s exciting, and it looks good. It’s a bit scaled back from the Twin Towers, and I’d consider that a strong criticism of this design.
It also has kind of a fortress-y feel to it, doesn’t it?
I don’t like that giant toothpick on top of it. Theoretically it gets the building to the 1776-foot desired height, but it seems like a cop-out. If they want the building to be that high, they should build it that high.
Update 9-13-06: More on the new design: Four new towers instead of two!
