REMEMBERING THE TWIN TOWERS
BRIGHT LIGHT BIG CITY
TWIN TOWER in BACKGROUND
With ODEON
I Worked at The ODEON in The Late 80's
Yes, it's a Sad Sad Fact, "WTC 1" rising down at GROUND ZERO where the Twin Towers once stood is quite disgusting. Have you looked at the awful looking tower rising into our Beautiful
New York Skyline? It's quite awful looking. How the Hell could the Powers That Be pick such an awful looking building? It's quite disgusting! It's appalling! They couldn't come up with something better. This building is an Eyesore! It's HORIBLE !!!! WTC 1 looks like a skyscraper from downtown Miami, or Phoenix, not New York... This is quite a Sin. We have to live with this SHIT for a long long time. How can these MORONS make such a blunder? This AWFUL looking Tower is going to be a part of Our Wonderful New York Skyline for years to come. It's terrible. This building is going to bring down the look of our skyline. It is a detrement to New York.
The Price Tag of WTC 1, formely The Freedom Tower is 4 BILLION Dollars. You Idiots, with that kind of Money, couldn't come up with a better design? A better Look? A building that looks like a New York Skyscraper, not a Downtown Miami Skyscraper? It's Disgusting. It's a Sin that we are made to look at this Ugly Awful looking Monstrosity. Listen, I'm not knocking Miami. It's a cool place, a nice city and I like it. And the tall modern looking office buildings and skyscrapers that are in downtown Miami are fine, and look fine. For Miami that it! But we don't want a building, and one that is so prominent and will be the tallest building in New York and one of the tallest in the World, we don't want a building like this to be set into our beautiful Iconic New York Skyline, and it looks like it was put there, picked up in Miami and plopped down in New York. It's just not right. It's Sacriligious! It's DISGUSTING! But guess what my fellow New Yorkers?
We have no choice in the matter! These Idiots; David Childs, Larry Silverstein,
The Port Authority,Skidmore Owings and Merrill, did it, it's almost done and we have to live with it. One of the most horrible Blunders in New York City History. All because of thos Bastards at The Port Authority, Larry Silverstein and That Asshole David Childs. "You've Got No Aesthetics Man!" Your Design SUCKS! It's Awful! Ugly looking and I'm Freakin Pissed as Hell that I, my fellow New Yorkers and the physical City of New York has to Live with your Shitty Ass
Miami-Looking Design! I HATE That BASTARD David CHILDS for putting such an Awful Looking Blemish on Our Beautiful New York Skyline... You Suck David!
A REDITION of
THE UGLY LOOKING WTC 1

DESIGNED By a MAN

God I thought I was the only person who felt this way! The old twin towers may have been dull and banal but they had character and they were iconic.
ReplyDeleteThis shit they're building now? It looks like a plastic baby bottle, which I guess goes with the times because everything today, (politics, movies as well as buildings) seems to be shallow, over-the-top and one-dimensional.
I was hoping that I was not alone in my revulsion of 1wtc, and now that it is complete, what about the wonderful antenna? And I had just finished watcjhing a documentary on the BEAUTIFULL Shanghai Towers. This is just sad.

ReplyDeletethe best design anyone proposed for the new WTC was done by rem koolhaas who built the amazing central library in downtown seattle. and i don't even know how that happened since it seems most cities in the states presently are governed by total fuckheaded politics when it comes to architecture, so rem took his WTC project after it was shut down by the city of new york and built it in china instead. what a waste. and i absolutely agree with your sentiments. i don't even live in new york but as a lover of the city and architecture in general, 1wtc bugs the shit out of me. it's dull, lifeless and laughably absurd in how self-important it tries to look while completely failing on every imaginable level. it's absolutely insulting to its intended purpose.
ReplyDeleteIt may be tall but it still is one of the worst looking building I have ever seen. The whole thing makes me angry and disappointed it was scam and a lie from the day of the attack till the day this blight was finally finished.
