Dutch build twin towers that only idiots would think look like the WTC exploding.

So why don't they just add a 3rd tower?

ITT: religious special pleading. How shocking and unexpected.

QFT.

They look like the WTC exploding, who gives a fuck? Design isn't impressive either really, only the inside is mildly interesting.

[Jaybar]

Don't confuse design with form. The design is extremely successful in that it breaks the norm for skyscrapers being skin-loaded, extruded squares - effectively allowing for an all new experience of horizontal integration and space.

Now the form on the other hand could be disputed as ugly or beautiful. I believe they meant the form to be contextual to SK (tight spaces: high density). But I have no idea if that's true or if that's just the way that firm likes to design. (Daylighting and passive systems are srs business)

When will i get my mass effect arcology buildings

The problem with arcologies is that if you build more than 300 they all fly off into space.
