ahh the good ol' french lady! :)
btw, what camera did you use?
- JazX0
yeah given to the US from the French. Actually, there's a French design team in the running for the redesign of WTC.

Here's my camera:
http://web.canon.jp/Imaging/EOS1…The site opened 5 windows for me to get to that link. Canon needs my help desperately as a designer.

I've been to the head of the Statue of Liberty, and the top of the World Trade Center.
both were amazing.

yeah Unfit hang on let me look

http://www.wtcsitememorial.org/f… one of them is a French group. Ironic because the SOL is not that far away. Maybe a nice gesture actually, but they will probably give it to someone from NYC itself I would think. Politics behehind it.

- JazX0

unfit, I've seen some building similar to those in the Arab world, mostly airports and governmnet buildings. If I remember correctly in United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia or Egypt I think when I was there.

right on the spot. The minimal white look that you find in spanish/portuguese contemporary architecture and villages in the south of both countries has a lot to do to 10-15th century muslim influences. A more riched detailed interior against the exterior lack of detailing...
btw, there's a shitload of stuff being projected for Luanda, Angola. Man, if it really goes ahead, I'm moving there, forget Rio!

The sad thing is that I just passed Ground Zero on my run and there are people over there protesting with signs that say "Sacred Ground", etc. These people frustrate me. Every day that land goes unused is another day Osama is happy. If I lost my life there, the last thing I would want is what is happening (not happening) now.

agreed, CyBrainX.
Altough you people deserved better than the Libeskind masterplan. That's utter shit, seems like a trash dump.
A big plaza [I mean big], a place of comtemplation and 1 skyscraper to serve [again] as a focal point in the skyline, a cohesive engineering and architectural building, not a collection of different intentions. It's so god damn obvious...
