“Office buildings are our factories – whether for tech, creative or traditional industries we must continue to grow our modern factories to create new jobs,” said United States Senator Chuck Schumer.
They would have come into play more from a distance that up close. You get more of a sense of scale on the bracing sides.

This one turned into a bit of a snoozer. I feel the project on the whole is a disappointment. The ghastly antennae on the Freedom Tower was the start of a long slide towards the mundane and away from the spectacular.

It's because there were TWO identical massive monolithic structures.
If nothing else, together, they were certainly unique... and an intimidating presence at the tip of the island.
The new WTC buildings, while in many ways superior, just don't have 'it'.
You have a long way to go before you can say that. This complex isn't complete at all. It's like judging the original complex with only one tower present.

I'm in the camp that the new complex, although very, very nice, doesn't have the iconography that the original complex did.
The new WTC seems much more multifaceted and deconstructed compared to the original two bars in the sky: ||
(The dominating, ultra-bold presence of the two towers would have been very difficult to recreate, in any case. It's also very understandable why they're not rebuilding the old site as it was.)
However, from the street level the new complex *blows away* the old one.
i think it came out fantastic, even scaling back on the bracing. I think that worked out better actually, i do think dropping the spires was a mistake though
