[QUOTE=CoolCzech;2845437][QUOTE=Swede;2845288]Tho isn't WTC2 under-represented in that render? the top will be really close the WTC1's roof...

Absolutely.

Supposedly, the smaller size of 2 WTC in that rendering represents the fact its further back than the FT, but in reality the upper part of the "diamond" will be just 12 feet shy of the FT's roof height. I think that rendering exagerates how far back 2 WTC is. And 3 is shown just ridiculously small.

I mentioned this earlier and NYguy shot me down. I too think the height of 2 WTC is wrong in these renderings. Out of the 4 tall buildings of the new WTC, the one that impresses me the most is 2 WTC - it's like Chicago's Smurfit-Stone building on steroids, only much more refined and elegant. Can't wait to see it built.
