From what I see here, I'd be very pleased with this plan. The design looks powerful; the notion of using the waterfalls to isolate, and inspire.

At first glance, seems more appropriate than any spire/tower. In case you hadn't heard, the original proposal proved too costly.

Very Interesting (http://www.nytimes.com/2006/06/20/nyregion/20cnd-memorial.html?hp&ex=1150862400&en=ba89ee19c55d3e90&ei=5094&partner=homepage)

I love waterfalls. Looks pretty. That girl in the second image has the longest legs I've ever seen.

Definitely something wrong with the "people" they rendered. Looks like a guy with a purse in picture 4.

I like this better than "bigger, badder, better" towers as touted in the initial run as well as the previously accepted Freedom Tower plan.

Great idea with the ponds and waterfalls at the tower footprints.

(Also, to chirp in about the "people" - quite eerie indeed, with the amount of folks in wheelchairs, blind gentleman, and various clothing schemes. My guess is they are "cutouts" from stock photo CD-ROMs and plopped in as they fit for the rendering.)
