Moreover the spire of Skytree is much more thick than the toothpick on 1WTC. That's why I had fun to imagine 1WTC with... the spire of Skytree (on Google Sketchup)
Please let me know what you think about it
By the way, the spire of Skytree is almost the exact same height of 1WTC's spire: it's around 130 meters tall.

I've been to the top of the Skytree. It's a beautiful structure and has the best observatory I've ever been to. It's a shame One WTC isn't a 600+ m structure.
As for your idea… Sorry, I appreciate your computer work, but I'm not a fan of the Skytree top on the WTC. It just looks too top-heavy, and it's not clean-looking and seamless (which is what most people miss about the scrapped randome), but still industrial and skeletal looking except on a much larger, more imposing scale than the existing antenna. Still, can't knock your passion!
