I don't like it. It looks like a dirty tampon

It sounds like a done deal after today. Is this the final design, or just a conceptual rendering?

Everybody will get used to it within the first year it's there. It's just like the Comcast building in Philly: Everyone complained at first but we're all used to it now.

I still think that the materials are too modern to fit in with the 1930s esque NYC skyline. From every picture I've seen of it (Renderings, etc) I have always thought how it sticks out like a sore thumb. I hate to say it, but the WTC weren't very architecturally impressive. Just two tall gray boxes... Cool...
