I think freedom tower is even better looking than Sears. Sears is ugly and Trump looks worse. I miss the old world trade centers, but this one is pretty..especially the bottom..it's very elegant.
Trump has an ugly base. It looks like a parking garage takes up the first floors. it's just not an attractive building.
Freedtom Tower is taller than ugly sears too. Just get it in your head . A SPIRE IS PART OF A BUILDING. Don't we count the empire state buildings spire?!
LOL jealous that NY will have the tallest building. Hahahahahahy
LOL trump and attractive never belong in the same sentence. Freedtom Tower #2 is 10x more stunning AND TALLER than hideous trump. I even like it better than one world trade center.
Trump is absolutely ugly and deserves nearly being bankrupt for blemishing Chicago's skyline.
Look, if you're going to try to debate about which city has the best architecture, you need to use words other than "beautiful", "pretty", "cool", and "looks good/better." There is much more to architecture than aesthetics. Also, tall buildings are more of a structural creation than they are an architectural creation. When dealing with skyscrapers, the structure must be considered above all else, therefore if you wish to discuss who has the better skyscrapers, then the thread should read "Which city has the best engineered systems?"
There is an unlimited number of ways to achieve successful architecture, but there are just as many ways to create terrible architecture. According to Vitruvius, commodity, firmness, and delight are three architectural design elements used to create a well designed space or structure. We all know Vitruvius was an extraordinary individual, but even his knowledge is not the end all be all. It is the culmination of thoughts and ideas generated from centuries of thinkers concerning our built environment, and this growing knowledge changes every day. There is no way to pin it down, therefore there is no way to definitively choose which city has better architecture.
