Both designs plan on building the worlds tallest towers in the world. Interestingly enough something like 54% of New Yorkers wouldnt want to work in the buildings upper stories after 9/11. With that being said I would think that The THINK design would be a front runner since the office space is only as high as the other buildings around it from what I can see in the photos they have of it.

The one on top looks more like a "structure" than a building that you could work in...

They should put AA guns on the top. (j/k)

Looks like a big ugly scaffold to me. The bloody-minded pricks just refused to let popular opinion sway their choice, didn't they? Shows how much the people really matter.

I like the second one more. The Think design will be out of place in NYC.

I agree... The first one is just too different...

If you go by that the Sears Tower is still the tallest building in the world.
I always thought "highest occupied space" would be a better measure than "tallest".

Didn't we get the term "gaudy" (meaning ostentatiously showy) from him?
