I on't see anything wrong with this. It makes good sense that you might want to have the towers interconnected and it is going to look something like this.

I lost people on 9-11. I've been a number of funerals of my close friends with their families so I understand the emotions real well. The emotions need to be dealt with as that pain will never go away but you can't condemn an architectural design because one thinks that it might resemble an explosion.

Look like that? Usually interconnected towers have a skybridge or two. I can understand the artistic value of constructing a building like this, but...eh. It's a bit eerie.

It's not going to be built this is nothing more than a 15 minute fame fix for the jackass who came up with this concept.

I get it....the buidlings are supposed to look like they are reaching through a cloud. Its being built in S. Korea so I doubt there will be too much local controversy

It looks cool, but lacks taste.

It's ugly.

I think it looks ridiculous.

Yup. Ugly.

I'm hearing now it has nothing to do with 9/11. Supposed to be Clouds, not Implosion.

Still a bad idea as it seems to evoke 9/11 quite readily.

This fall into the WTF were they thinking category although it's kinda a neat concept.

Next headline will be "All Dutch Architects are Required to Take Sensetivity Training".

Thankfully it didn't depict anything Muslim or there'd have been a gazillion Jihad's declared.

Much ado about nothing.

Up close it looks nice, but from a distance, it looks kind of ugly.
