New Freedom Tower Design »
So a new plan for the Freedom Tower has been unveiled. Since it seems that a previously-selected design wasn't actually selected, as it has been replaced, there is no telling if this is what we will see or not. Some have recently complained about the lackluster design. Frankly, I think it looks better. The twisty-spire look, while, well, odd, just looked strange. I like the new look. Though the base is pretty ugly.
While on the subject, however, I agree that antennas should be excluded from a building's height. What I don't agree with is that spires should be included in the height. That's just stupid. If you include one, you ought to include the other. Otherwise some goofball (can you say David Childs) will simply design a spire that will protect the antenna.
