Please watch this video clip....

Video - Breaking News Videos from CNN.com

This is a proposed new building designed by a dutch architect for Korea.

Does it or does it not resemble the WTC?

That has to be a joke?! (only looked at the picture)

Any 2 towers side by side will be referenced to the twin towers.
Horrible design but hey its in another country so who gives a hoot.

Why has that caused complaints?

(I like the Shard in London, can see it from our office in the Gherkin!)

Whether it represents 9/11 or not, that building is ugly i can't imagine what was going through their minds.

whats it got to do with U.S? its a building in korea !

To be fair, I can see the cloud idea in it. Unfortunately you can't really differentiate between a normal cloud and a cloud of smoke from an explosion when it's just made of concrete. I they at least used a white render or something in that area it'd probs help

I would have said exactly the same... It was 10 years ago....

**ryan1087** · 13-12-11, 06:12 PM

It happening 10 years ago makes it alright? Whether it happened yesterday or 10 years ago, the same pain, fear and emotions would still and forever occur.

I think i may be completely missing the point here
