I think the Freedom Tower is just very bland (am I the only one that thinks this?). I'm not saying this as a Chicagoan (if anybody reads my post, they know I'm pretty unbiased) but as a fan of all things architecture related. The Freedom Tower's only standout feature is its height. Its just a very tall box basically.
I would've liked to have seen a very dynamic and cutting edge design for a tower that means so much.
By the way, I think the tower in Philly is very appealling and cutting edge. If you threw it in the mix I might have to throw a vote in for it.
New york city is one of the greatest cities in the world with some of the worlds first skyscrapers.. the sky scraper started here no offense but chicago doesn't have such an amazing skyline.. As for new york if you take the right picture you get one of the best skyline views of this world they have so many sky scrapers you can't even count the freedom tower will be a great addition try and go their in person before you criticize

Your entitled to your opinion that's fine, but Chicago is where the skyscraper was first born.
