Question is: What would other people prefer? I know from day one that I heard about the Freedom Tower I thought it was going to be ugly, not be as functional, and would never bring any of the former majesty. From the day of 9/11 I said they should not only build the towers back as they had been, but better. Seems most people agree, but I'd love a little debate about it.

the whole concept behind the freedom tower plaza design was amazing I think. Every year on 9/11 at the exact time the planes struck a "wedge of light" would pass through the center plaza in memorial of the tragic event. I wasn't a huge fan of the architectural design, but the concept behind the plaza itself impressed me. Personally being from the east coast and having spent far more time in NY then I probably ever should have, the towers are a staple of the manhattan skyline. I say build them bigger and stronger but keep the design the same. I saw a pic that AaronM shot of ny after 9/11 and I didn't recognize the city without the towers.
