I agree, and I think this a stunning design. It keeps the best of Foster’s, the diamond tops, while abstracting them down to a single diamond, but continuing them down all along the facade, the chamfers echoing and calling out to the tapered angles of 1 World Trade, and somehow making the latter look better. Not identical twins, they become like fraternal twins. If only this would be built! It makes the whole complex look better, completes the restoration of the skyline, and would be the star of the show, IMO. It’s not going to get built, of course, but still, one can dream.

Palma A lot of stunning stuff there. Most of these just seem to be concepts or proposals, though.
