ok, I hate to be so negative about the WTC . .
there are positive aspects to its architecture . .
So, only positives . . I adore the X-bracing on three . .
the different heights of its north and south segments . . giving it an asymmetry . .
making for a proportionally pleasing overall skyscraper form . .
the few sight lines looking up from the street, where you see sky between 2 & 3 . .
it's the single side-street wide sliver of space between giants . .
similar to the tall thin space we'll see between 220 CPS & CPT . .
I've always been ok with T.4's minimal simplicity. .
'cause it was the shortest giant . . deferring to the taller, grander towers . .
and thank God, of course, for T.One . . first equaling the height of the twins . .
for the building's taper . . which you see from the NE, NW, SE, & SW . .
the observatory, & even the colossal, disproportionately tall, weird, bumpy stick . .
I'd love some blue lights around the rings at night though . .
so, for the things that you've done right, Larry . . thanks.
