Looks better. But it looks lonely... Needs a second tower.
So basically what we have learned here is that a "winning" design can be trashed and redone many times, removing every element of the design that played a great part in "winning" the design contest in the first place. This can be done without question, as long as the word "Freedom" is in the name and the height is 1776. To say anthing against this, or the many future redesigns must be unamerican...
I work about two blocks away from the site. Build them back, but better than before. Restore the "Twin Towers" aspect, and in turn the skyline we all now greatly miss. And scrap the plans for a Civil Rights/Slavery/MLK museum incorporated into the memorial. (Personally, I'd like to see fountains incorporated into the memorial on the "footprints" of the towers that shoot 4 story strams of water into the sky, somewhat to resemble the towers from the ground. Also, the resulting mist would cool the area down greatly in the summer!
