This new thing looks like a flying porcupine.Yes! Noone liked the original twin towers either up until they were knocked down. After 9/11 people realized what they really had but it was too late. Some people will hate this, some will love it but like the Empire State, Brooklyn Bridge, Times Square, it will be instantly recognizable, turned into tourist trinkets, and become an 'only-in-new-york' icon.

The ribbed idea is cool but those protruding spines seem a bit much.Agreed. It looks more like a 1980s punk's Mohawk than any sort of bird. Ostentatious and monumental, but it lacks something. Maybe it's a sense of somberness, or some sort of steady timelessness, I can't quite articulate my views, but I just don't get a sense of appropriateness from the design. I also question the need for something that large for a system like PATH. The temporary station was a good fit, IMO.
