OK, being in the field of Architecture, this is way cool. But the sheer scope of what they are doing and how quickly makes me irate to be paying $3.40/gallon for gas. And how does Donny "Da Comb-over" Trump have the cash to build a Mega Skyscraper there after all the bankruptcies? I'll never watch The Apprentice again.

Two International Finance Center reminds me of a launch/landing bay on Galactica. Or the ship itself.
I remember seeing the plans for those islands someplace.

Kinda looks like a giant nose-hair trimmer to me.

I knew I had seen a similar design.... Frank Lloyd Wright's Mile High Tower for Broadacre City.

What ever happened to normal looking buildings? It's like he's building that to show Rosie O'donnel that he has something she doesn't. Great, just what we need. A pissing match between two fat and angry rich white men.

The Freedom Tower will be the biggest disappointment in New York City history. Nobody(except the politicians)likes it, it looks fragile as hell, and they keep adding these lame ass ideas to it. Windmills? Are you kitting me? Will they also make the inside look like Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory?

About time we started having some advanced future-looking architecture, Seriously, this whole "building the same way for 4000 years" is ticking me off.

Why cant they try to build a huge donught, or a 100 story star shaped building( from the top view)? Or a huge 80 story dome? Well, that too would look phallic. Me must find a solution to this problem.... To the nerd cave...... Deeee deedee deeeee!

As far as the Trump building goes, I would think that the fact that it has that opening in the middle makes it the exact opposite of a phallic symbol.
