Unfortunately, as much as I would like to see them rebuilt, it just gives them another target. If we build it they will come.
In the end it doesn't even matter May Teh Funny Be With You

Actually, according to the NY Post, that design won't be used.
They are going for five smaller buildings, nowhere nearly as big as the original towers, with a much larger memorial incorporating two corners of the tower sites.

What? You couldn't come up with a rhyme for band wagon? Perhaps something about a grand dragon?

This is a great design, I'd love to see it built.
And as far as taking it down is concerned - read the Safety section. Look at the placement of the stairwells. In the WTC, the stairs were all in the center.... the planes knocked out the center, so people above it were out of luck. With a design like this, people would be able to get out - there are many ways to get there.
Constructing five smaller buildings is the fucking pussy way out. I hate to use the same cliche "then the terrorists have won" but unforunately, it fits. There needs to be something big there.
And anyway, if there's another terrorist attack, I can't see any other way they could "top themselves" than with a nuke, so in that case, everyone's fucked and it doesn't matter what building is there.
That has got to be one of the worst proposals I've seen. From the standpoint of being a part of the skyline, it not only dominates, but it also does not fit what so ever with the rest of the city. It's not a matter of height, but a matter of girth. The original towers were part of one complex, but were a group of buildings, with tower 1 and 2 the most massive. This design has 5 large towers , connected, and topped off by a pyramid, and from the perspectives of the skyline, the building does not look like a prt of the city skyline, but more of its on separate world.
The designer intended on this private city within the towers, and this conclusion can be arrived at by the amount of program he has assigned to this building.
There is commercial, residential, and government aspects embedded within the design. The residential areas will be very highly priced, so only the upper class will be able to live in thi building. Business which occupied the former WTC will more than likely be allowed to move into this building. This becomes more and more like a high rise condo for financial giants to be able to live in.
All other towers that are in the top ten highest in the world have an observation deck at the top for the paying public. Does this one? Nope, it has a hotel, with a conference room at the top. Who will get to stay in this hotel? The rich upper class, not the everday person.
And , at the bottom, a biosphere. Why does this memorial need to be closed off from the rest of the city? Why is this building caled a "cyber city"? The design seperates this building physically from the city, and socially, because the residential areas and hotel are going to be the most expensive places to stay in this city.
There are more daring designs for the building then this. When it comes down to visuals, its 5 cylinders with a pyramid on top. One thick overbearing part of the skyline, designed fro rich upper classes, and not meant for the city to celebrate.
