Anyone ever been there? Is it impressive? Cool? The guy who designed it is designing the WTC site in NYC so I was wondering.

    Oh, I was just wondering cause the same guy that did that museum is going to design the new WTC site. It looks neat what he's come up with...a spire 1,776 ft. high and other buildings that look like shards of broken glass.

    I like it because it's around the memorial to those who died. In the footprints of those buildings of the WTC they found 20,000 body parts. So it's hallowed ground. So he has one spire rising 1776 feet tall, the WTC were 1350 ft. it'll be the world's tallest. At the top above 70th floor there will be world gardens. But all the buildings look like broken glass on the top.
