Wow that second tower is awful, just awful, I really wanted to see twins, I didn't mind the modified twin, but god that is just blad & ugly, yes it does look quite a bit like the Columbia Center.

WOW - what a gorgeous building!! It's too bad that this wasn't the proposal that won!

I like the different designs for the 2nd tower, but I think it's insane to call them twins if the second one is so different in design, shape, and height.

This building turned out really well.

I think "twins" is a legacy term because the buildings originally were intended to be identical.

There is actually a thread for the East tower (well, not right now but I will recreate it for the 3rd time since it keeps getting deleted for some reason).

what a beauty. i love that podium in that last shot, it came out perfect!

and that opera house (?) by zaha hadid came out beautiful! i thought it would come out all crappy and shiny but it's the reflection, the color, the glass, it all fits perfectly. now i just cant wait till they begin landscaping (the trees will add amazing colors and reflections!) and for more pedestrians!

Complex01 · #**214** Posted **Dec 18, 2009, 1:36 AM**

Wow really great pics. This is one nice looking tower...

wrab · #**215** Posted **Dec 30, 2009, 6:06 PM**

Great interior shots. What a beaut!

BTW - just noticed the revolving restaurant at the top.

sashyenka · #**216** Posted **Dec 30, 2009, 9:35 PM**

What a beautiful tower - it feels like this one just shot up overnight. It would be so awesome to see the other one built like those renderings too, so elegant - even if they're no longer twins.

Fabb · #**217** Posted **Dec 31, 2009, 6:07 PM**

The helipad and its little spikes disturb me...
That thing is too small to be a legitimate crown and too big to be unnoticeable.

br.reese · #**218** Posted **Jan 1, 2010, 1:01 AM**

They're not twins anymore?

muppet · #**219** Posted **Jan 1, 2010, 1:57 PM**

the Opera House underneath is nearing completion too:

thx ！！MISS ZAHA HADID:lol:

The opera house came out amazingly good. I didn't expect it to come out so good looking, I expected something cheap and shiny but instead got something with great quality and design.

anyways, if the Twin Towers were rebuilt these would definitely should've taken their place.
