The Sears Tower will continue to be the bolder wider dominant supertall for a very long time. It has more volume handling more people. The Freedom Tower's design seemed to be compromised with a spire at the top and looks skinnier which doesn't have a full bold volume body like the orginal WTC and Sears. It will never be as bold and powerful as the Twin Towers. I'd rather see the original WTC rebuilt. NYC will never be the same without the Twin Towers. The boldest skyscraper in NYC with more fuller volume is MetLife. If Sears were in NYC it easily would tower over ESB casting a big shadow on it and dominate the Mahattan skyline.
You don't know what you're talking about. 1WTC's spire is much thicker than the original twins spire and it is bigger in diameter and height than the Sears spire.

If Sears were in NYC I wouldn't care if it were toppled because it's an ugly building and would look horrendous on the skyline. The Twins were quite ugly too but they looked better than the Sears.

The spire on 1WTC is so much better than the antenna on the Willis Tower.
Just My opinion but the Prudentail in Boston is pretty impressive, it just has nothin of its scale around it, unlike the Pru in chi, or even the chrysler.

I agree but the Prudential Building is pretty ugly.
