As you all may or may not have heard on the news, the Port Authority of NY & NJ have come up with six concepts for memorials/replacements for the World Trade Center. I am curious as to what you think of them, and which ones would you prefer to see.

The six concepts are:


Memorial Plaza

Memorial Square

Memorial Triangle

Image

Memorial Garden

Memorial Park

Memorial Promenade

I think there should be a park with a 911 foot tall tower with the names of all the people who died in the attacks, and 2 even taller, better looking, better designed towers than can withstand such an impact that destroyed the WTC towers. About one-fifth of all the offce space in lower Manhattan was destroyed or damaged in the 9-11 attacks, and the destroyed office space needs to be rebuilt. And a historically correct memorial to all the firefighters that risked their lives rescuing people form the towers, and then didn't sue afterwards.

I'll go with Square on this one

Memorial Plaza
Is Decent but the odd building out just does not look right

Memorial Square
Kinda flows in, keeping the green while having a three story walk-way thingy around it I kinda like

Memorial Triangle
Messy looking, very messy looking

Memorial Garden
My Second choice but the walkway around tugged me to Square, its ok

Memorial Park
To much crowding of the buildings to accomdate the park and I know there will be pretty KEEP OF THE GRASS signs everywhere if they did this

Memorial Promenade
Lopsided but has potentional

If you use meters, it doesn't sound as impressive because of the smaller numbers.

If you use inches, it won't be impressive because people associate "inces" with "small".

Rebuild the towers.

Part of it's my practical side, which knows the dead are, well, dead.

But part of it's a big FUCK YOU! to Osama and his pals. You can destroy our towers, but we will build them again! You can hit our homeland, but we will always be there!

Unfortunately rebuilding the towers is unpractical and not one of the options. However, we could lobby the port authority to actually paint a giant
