    It’s been difficult to separate the new World Trade Center building from that terrible day in 2001, but we now have the benefit of just enough time that we can begin to discuss the tower, as a piece of architecture and as part of the skyline, on its own terms.

      @mattblaze@federate.social That’s a beautiful picture, I don’t love the building. As a practical matter it may have been impossible to agree on something more expressive.

        @CartyBoston@mastodon.roundpond.net Agreed. It’s not bad, but it feels uninspired, a missed opportunity for something great.
