You're thinking 7WTC

i think most people just don't realise (yet) how massive 1WTC actually is.

This is nothing yet. when Tower 1v2 is completed then its going to be really massive. But for right now its still a cute baby of a building.

well the lobby and the base don't appear cute too me, but big. having seen it with my own eyes for a couple of times, all i can say is WOW. and although the tower still has a long way to go one can already imagine how massive it's going to be when finished.

The building does taper when you look at it from the angle where it looks kind of like two triangles going up side by side, with one upside down one in the middle. You have this angle, and then you have the one in the title of the thread, which shows two upside down triangles sides by side and then one regular triangular in the middle of the two, which hides the tapering effect from the other view because the upside down tapering triangles do not make up the sides, instead they are part of the front. Hope that made enough sense. If you want you can look at the 3d model on google earth to see what i'm talking about.

Those concrete walls look very very massive

Yeah, and think walking into the lobby and getting hit with a massive concrete shield. I can't decide if I like or hate it.

It's a massive concrete shield, that's what it is. Personally I don't think it's warranted.

^ I'm sure you have that all figured out now, don't you.

Huh? I'm saying it's totally uninviting and suggests a tower is hiding behind a totally unnecessary wall of fear. Cramped, walled, lobbies? Sounds rather 20th Century to me. Maybe I'll change my opinion when it's all finished, but this is rather sad for the most expensive and prestigious office building in the world's largest economy.
