I think, as a New York tower, it should be very close to other skyscrapers. For example, when you look at Shanghai and the Jin Mao, WFC, and the new tower, they all stand out from their surroundings, like skyscraper islands. The new WTC really tries to reconnect to the street. It's what the great towers like the ESB and the Chrysler do. To me, that makes the taller towers that much more impressive. I believe the memorial itself will have more of a Bryant Park feel (though not with the same activities).
