and i know it's not a very popular opinion, but i really think the Meier building is way ahead of its time. I feel like it is the only one that really captures the powerful nature of the original twin towers. Yet it transcends the original by unifying the buildings and framing the beautiful memorial square below. Even if you hate the building, you have to admit the ground memorial is appropriate: The parks which are in the shape of the shadows of the towers at the time they fell, originating from the reflecting pool footprints of the twin towers.
Simply put, there is nothing corny about the Meier building, which cannot be said about some of the other buildings, including the Foster building (which I also happen to like, so don't jump all over me for my criticism of it).
