The best building at ground zero. Caltavara should have designed the main building too instead of the endless design monstrosities by Liebeskind and Childs. NYC should steal his Chicago/Fordham designed tower.

Sci-fi architecture such as this design pleases me greatly!

I also looks like the bones of a fish or a comb for lice.

Yes, it looks like some fish. The one with the long pointy nose thing and the fanned fins on the back that hang on people's panelled walls. Swordfish? Marlin? I don't know.

It looks rather organic, sort of like a Venus flytrap.

"A welcome success"? $2.2B for a station, with no increase in service? I can walk from the A to the PATH lines now - is it really worth $2.2B to do it in a tunnel rather than on the sidewalk?

What in the F@*& is that! Come on. Why has architecture become such a joke. If we could rip out almost every building created from the 50's on, the city would be no worse off for it. From the butalist architecture of the 50s and 60s, to the crap of the 70s to this new wacky just to be wacky designs- I think architects need to really think about how their work, which we have to live with for decades, impacts its surroundings... frankly, architecture has become a real freakshow.

For 2.2 billion...do we really need this thing? What we have there now is fine. Of course the PA isn't going to spend the 2 billion to actually improve service or build new routes. www.forgotten-ny.com

Am I the only one to think that it doesn't fit in with the surrounding buildings? It's certainly an interesting and inspired design, but from the images, It looks like the Odd ball in the crowd, which Might not be a bad thing.

wha??

Fri, 29 Jul 2005 08:49:25 -0500

That is the ugliest building I have ever seen. It looks like a shark is eating the Sydney Opera House.

How about Calatrava is a better architect than any of those other fools working at ground zero, his tower in Chicago...rockin!
