I would like that skybridge much better if it was (1) totally true to the Japanese modern building, which is not the case, or (2) if it was cladded in sleek transparent glass only.
Pretty sure they can do either option by now. For now, it looks like an out-of-place adjunction.
The invasive Japanese modern design (i.e. (1)) would be the best symbolically, since Japan has been so influential since the 1970s. They should reproduce the very same materials. The fact that the former NYC WTC was a rip-off doesn't even matter. The symbol goes beyond that.
