I think it's a neat design.

I like it as well. I lived in NYC on 9/11. and the design doesn't offend me at all.

I think it's pretty cool also.

Plus, I'm outraged.

Understandable. One time I saw a thing that reminded me of a thing that was unpleasant, and I was all, OMG RAGE!

I like it, I personally would like the towers to have a bit more personality but I like the part that connects them.

Only question I have is how did the architects really NOT see the resemblance?

[mean]

Maybe they did, but I'm assuming they aren't Americans and don't think about it that much.

I think there are a finite number of shapes that an office tower can take. Most are pretty much just simple cubes. I give credit to these guys for thinking outside the box a little.

If they used 9/11 as inspiration that's a little creepy but I think it was done innocently and was a cool idea. Guess the question is with such a cool cloud idea why go with two square towers in the design.....

It's actually an interesting looking building up close.

I really like this design too. It reminds me of Moshe Safdi's Habitat '67 housing development for the Montreal World's Fair, grafted onto twin towers.
