http://www.ted.com Reed Kroloff gives us a new lens for judging new architecture: is it modern, or is it romantic? Look for glorious images from two leading practices -- and a blistering critique of the 9/11 planning process.

  • They should have called it "phoenix tower". It would have said "we rise from the ashes", and it would have been literal, since the first tower turned to a pile of ash. "Freedom tower" is dumb, because the WTC wasn't attacked because "terrorists hate freedom", but for various other reasons. I vote "phoenix tower". (although I'm not even American so whatever)

  • I like P&T BS idea, the biggest fuck you to those who wanted to destroy those towers is to rebuild it.

  • Homosexual activists understand the power of words.

    Please visit my channel to watch a one-minute video clip in which popular atheist author Richard Dawkins admits that homosexual activists "hijacked the word 'gay'".

    The word "homosexual" is more appropriate and accurate because it, unlike the word "gay", actually describes the behavior/attraction/relationsh­ip being discussed.

    The word "gay" helps homosexual activists push their agenda.

  • There were two proposals. One representing Frank Gehry formerly known as Frank Lloyd Wright and The Wright Brothers that made planes and one representing Mies van der Rohe skyscarpers. Why do they want to fight all the time. Frank Lloyd Wright is dead. Some one has to make us belive it and who else than Yale S. Kroloff and Bill Clinton.

  • Why was Reed Kroloff sent to TED to apologize on behalf of the Bush Adminstration. Is it because they all went to bangladesh together for a vacation together? Why would you want to thank Debra Pattern.

  • Dude? Apple Sauce! Think and David Rockewell are the same guys.

    There the bad guys. Get it?

  • Carpet Burns or Ed Burns and Christy Turlington.

    Sounds like Construction and Modeling.

    What kind?

  • What was the point??? A simple commercial about architecture.

  • Deconstructing a battery operation starts with the skin.

  • Is this guy an architect.... because he has no idea what romactic architecture is....
