What would you do?

What would you build where WTC once stood? http://www.cnn.com/SPECIALS/2002/wtc.ideas/[^] Personally out of shown proposals I like no 4. No 17 is good as well, but looks too complex to actually built. IMHO anything that doesn't rise up at least 110 stories is an insult...

I like 17.. I think it would be possible... have a look at http://www.geocities.com/PicketFence/5192/centre_of_india.html[^] and http://dsc.discovery.com/convergence/eti/projects/towermain.html[^] looks absolutely amazing :-)

But where are the parks open to the sky? Are all the sports fields indoors only? And where is the beach with the hot sun and awesome waves, man? I think we have already proved we can build tall buildings. Now we should start proving we can build beautiful cities with a good "feel" to them. Parks, community areas, good access, tranquility etc. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass Cape Town, South Africa

And where is the beach with the hot sun and awesome waves, man? I'm guessing there isn't any... considering it's being built on it's own man-made island in the middle of the bay. Although I did watch a documentary on that building and the said that by building it on the island in the bay it allowed them to creats parks etc... I live ina beautiful city called Waterford[^]. It's a small city [population of about 45,000] but it is amazingly beautiful... sometimes I forget about it and then all of a sudden I realise how lucky I am to be living there... and then I go walking around, appreciating how beautiful nature is and how, in some places, we have managed to make our cities beautiful as well.

I still like the idea someone had shortly after 9/11: Build three towers, where the middle tower is longer than the others, giving the terrorists the birdie. FreeBSD is sexy. Getting closer and closer to actually submit an article...

I like 14, very Sharp and has a statement. as to your choice of 17, the bridges would be technically challenging, but then thats what engineers are paid for solving. Regardz Colin J Davies

You are the intrepid one, always willing to leap into the fray! A serious character flaw, I might add, but entertaining. Said by Roger Wright about me.
