Look, I may just be kind of disturbed in the head, but the new touches on the models are making this look less like a soaring bird taking flight, and more like a giant modern art vagina.

Don't know what the girls are doing, but it's a nice photo...

Yes. They are incomprehensibly awful, but at least they have windows all the way down, and do not look like they are made of armor. Plus, no matter how ugly the design, a hotel cannot represent...

I can't believe that's a photo of an actual building. It must be some kind of photoshop joke, right? It looks like something out of a cheap sci-fi film about a future militaristic society.

I...

Someday someone is going to explain to me how those wings are going to hold the weight of all that snow that can fall in a New York blizzard. I know I'm a cynic, but dang those things are looooong...

Absolutely beautiful. Bravo. Clearly the only building on the site that even tried to be iconic. Good for them.

On a related note, the antenna at the top. Broadcast antenna or just a pretty spire?

I'm just amazed at the lack of imagination that went into this design. We could have had a unique, attractive solution to putting the trading floors into this building, but instead I picture some...

i worry about those diamonds reflecting light so well. remember how they had to sandblast the surface of the Disney Concert Hall in LA because the reflected sunlight was blinding people in the...

ZZZZZZ. I could have designed something more interesting and I'm just some guy sitting here in my underwear.

It's just you.

Actually, the more we can put into that memorial park thing the better, since I'm eagerly awaiting news of the landscaping of that park. If it's just a big flat area with scattered trees, it's not...

Now that my euphoria is winding down, I'm left with two questions in my mind. First, didn't the broadcasters want an antenna of at least 2000' in order to broadcast in High Def? And Second, since...

Thank God, Thank God, Thank God. We really dodged a bullet here--this new design really does look like a world-class building that we can be proud of as opposed to that world-class joke we were...

Since Libeskind and Childs are now no longer working together on the Freedom Tower, will this thread be put to rest?

Can anybody post photos from the building's interior? Sounds like a very imposing space.

Beautiful! Amazing! Stupendous! Awesome! This is exactly the kind of revolutionary skyscraper New York has been thirsting for. Bravo!

zzzzzz *snort* eh? wha...? What would I do? I'd instruct my architect to create a distinctive look for the building that has actual DETAILS to it instead of just giant sheets of glass. I'm excited...

zzzzzzzzzzz. Can't hear you. zzzzzzzzzzzz. I'm sleeping. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Wow. Another building in NYC with a big glass facade. Thats...yawn...that's great...zzzzzzzzzzzz.

PLEASE let that spire die. I'm glad that the reality of building such a spire off-center is as difficult as the idea behind it is stupid. Though I wonder what its removal would do to the height of...

Can someone explain to me what I'm looking at? It looks great, but what is it? And is it a 'go' project?

beautiful! bravo!

Can someone get some good nighttime photos that show the crowns lit? I'm dyin' for some ovah heah!

Wow--great stuff!! What buidlings did they design that DID go up?

In case you're not pleased with the freedom tower design, and the announcement of the taller Dubai tower has you down...
