If I ruled the world, part 793

Jennifer Manley Lee tells us that one of my favorite architects, Gaudi, has submitted his design to replace the World Trade Center towers – 77 years after his death. “It has been said that the plans may well have been intended for the original site of the World Trade Center, although this cannot be verified “

It’s probably too much to hope this will actually be built, but it’s a lovely fantasy – by far my favorite proposal for the site I’ve seen so far. You can view images of the design here, and photographs of real-life Gaudi buildings here and here.
