The proposals for rebuilding the World Trade Center site released last week were all fairly pedestrian, and none of them really gave much idea of what the finished site would really look like — they were simply white images superimposed on a generic gray simulacrum of Lower Manhattan. Not so with this proposal, which is highly detailed, meticulously thought out, and more than a little megalomaniacal. Maybe this isn’t quite the answer for the WTC site, but the science fiction-futurist in me would love to see something like this built somewhere. (Hey, why not Buffalo? Our current tallest bulding would be one quarter the height of this sucker!)
(Warning: the site linked above is Flash-heavy, and takes a while to load.)
