Yeah I can't imagine that it would be easy to build something that massive and stick with in 1 foot. I mean the tolerances for settling and temperature expansion and contraction would have to be more than a foot right? But then again if its just a spire at the top they could always add a little or trim it as needed. Maybe have the spire on something mechanical, like an electric antenna on your car. The machine makes sure it's always the right height :)

A small number of telecommunications towers would still stand taller than the Libeskind spire. " Telecomm towers would still be higher, the nice thing about the trade center and even the petronas towers is they have people in them and office space they are buildings with people not just a spire. Kinda a cop out to me but oh well its neat that it will be 1776 feet and all. But with our luck someone will screw up and it will be a few feet too tall or too short :) ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Community" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, February 27, 2003 9:39 AM Subject: RE: Design Chosen for WTC site Looks pretty kewl. With the spires it will be the largest structure in the world. I am glad they decided to go that way, rather than shorter and "safer".
