    I don't know, UR. That copulating octopus one looks interesting.

        How about a giant replica of what the Kabba would look like after a nuclear strike?

            What ever design they choice I hope it is classy and that it is not simply designed in the trend de jour.

              A line of five skyscrapers with the middle one 50% taller would work just fine by me.

                I thought the original WTC designs were brilliant given the surrounding context, these simply aren't. Quite funny actually, the old tower design had a strong arab element in the facade - and the new proposed are by a devote muslim architect. Go figure

                  Zylka, I couldn't be happier if a devote Muslim were the lead architect of the rebuild. I would hope that that would simply infuriate Osama bin Hidin'lyka'coward. Maybe he'd give himself a heart attack in the midst of his anger...

                    I.M. Pei did the local Bank of China tower, at least it has character.

                        Times changes... I don't want the future to look like the "stone-towers" we have today. And btw: I like buildings that "just-doesn't-fit-in"
