I firmly believe that the current design for the WTC site is deeply flawed in all respects: architectural, functional, aesthetic, and spiritual. The one silver lining of the devastating attack NYC suffered on September 11, 2001 was this: we were given the opportunity and the honor to build the 8th wonder of the world, something awe-inspiring, brilliant, and original.
Since demolishing the new One World Trade Center is inconceivable, I propose a compromise in building it a twin. We could then salvage the image of the original WTC without mimicking it exactly. It would even cost less to build a second Tower One in place of Towers 2, 3, and/or 4.
Ask yourselves? Do you want a generic office park? Or perhaps something more…
TTA Note: Demolishing the Freedom Tower is not inconceivable, just as a matter of fact — especially considering the affront to our system of government that it represents — but we are not suggesting that be done. It can be capped and would just become another skyline element — instead of rising to full height, where it would resemble the hundreds of obelisks that rise above the tombstones in cemeteries around New York. The Twin Freedom Tower idea has been persistently suggested, but there is no available space to put it where it would be a twinned structure.
This website is not as scalable as newer sites are and is best viewed on full-size monitors.
