Description

I just got back from NYC after vacationing over there during the Fourth of July. I have not been there in many years but I was fortunate enough to see the jaw dropping WTC in all its glory before 9-11. To see a big hole where she once stood tall and proud flooded me with emotion of sadness and anger. 911 was so pointless and evil. It was such a big part of NYC and to see such a big scar made me feel like we should build something that resembled the old trade center building. My brain was constructing a new trade center and I could not wait to get home and put it on paper 'per say'. Anyhow, enough being dramatic, here is my rough sketch of what I think we should fill that hole with. 2 buildings reaching out to each other and soaring one story higher than the old ones just to let the world know that all they did was make us stronger. BITE ME! Dorothylee from NYC quotes, "together we stand united and strong" God bless America

I stand up and applaud your patriotic endevor! The act of rebuilding this building in an artistic fashion bringsa sober tear to my eye. It makes me damn proud to call my self an American and I will frame this masterpiece. In a perfect world this design would get built no questions asked with rockets on the top. I bow and bask in the shadows and the presence of this mile high tribute! A+ on the modeling job, the peeps would be lucky to have it, i like turtles and I roll my socks. amen.

I am originally from New York City and my mom still lives there. She's far enough from the towers to have been "safe" from falling debris but close enough that when you would walk to 6th avenue and look downtown you could see the Towers. Strangely enough the only photos I have of the towers are from across the river in New Jersey - I wasn't as photo obsessed then as I am now. This is just a totally amazing concept. This would be the perfect building to put there - a "together we stand united and strong" kind of concept. Awesome image!

Very original and well done... an interesting concept for the new Trade Center! I prefer this your work to that strange project of some europeans architects (Libeskind and others...) the sky-line of NY must be rebuilt accurately... The terrorists never bend the strong spirit of the Americans... From an italian friend: God bless! Rating 5+++++!

I love it. Excellent idea. I would love to see something like this. Do you perhaps remember one of the old Love Bug movies where Keenan Wynn was the bad guy, and his name was something Hawk? He had an architect's model of the new Hawk Plaza, which was supposed to stand where an old fire station inhabited by Helen Hays and Herbie was the only obstacle to his grand plan. That building was shaped like a huge, 180-story "H". Yours is cooler, but still has that space underneath that I know modern architectural methods could realize. Cool image.
