Every time I see one of these articles I must vent my frustration that we are not reconstructing twin towers. Furthermore that we are not even breaking any significant world records going with just one.
Kudos on the efficiency, but it is not the most efficient.
Kudos on the height, but it is nowhere near the tallest.
Kudos on the capacity, but again, no record there.
Truly an uninspired design unworthy of replacing its predecessor. This building will serve well as a beacon for American complacent mediocrity.
Actually nightawkich
the 1wtc is the most efficent building of its size. it is also the 2nd tallest building in the world exceeded by only 200 ft. when it comes to compacity it doesnt matter its not a football stadium. the goal for this amazing building is not the set records. we dont have to be the best at everything. the goal is for improvement. to make possitve changes that will effect everyone involed and the environment.
