Author Message   Axel Haakonsen (Axel) Posted on Wednesday, December 18, 2002 - 10:23 pm:    Some interesting ideas for the site, I like the glass tower myself: WTC rebuild concepts   Curtis N (Curtis) Posted on Wednesday, December 18, 2002 - 11:08 pm:    That is simply amazing. There are only a couple of designs I did not like. All of the others I could live with. The thing I like about the crystalline towers one is that it is big. It also seems like a sound design concept. BTW - If you want to see the good pics, look at the "Design Concepts" tab.

Look at the last couple of slides in their slideshow.   James F. Thompson Jaime (Blueboy) Posted on Thursday, December 19, 2002 - 12:08 pm:    Agree on the Foster & Associate proposal. Especially their concept of "The iconic skyline must be reassembled. We propose to celebrate New York's positive spirit with a unique twinned tower-the most secure, the greenest and the tallest in the world." Bring back the big dogs! Jaime   James F.
