"MECCA" from city life
No, it wasn't
Calling my work "poo" but can't refute it; Why?
The architect himself likened the plaza courtyard to a "Mecca" of peace, with the revolving center in the place of Kaaba
Architect Minoru Yamasaki (who designed the Twin Towers and the plaza fountains) deliberately modeled the circular ring of fountains around the sphere to evoke the Grand Mosque of Mecca (Masjid al-Haram), with the rotating sphere itself standing in the exact central position of the Kaaba. This made the whole installation a modern, abstract reference to the Islamic ritual of Tawaf — the counterclockwise circumambulation (whirling/walking in circles) that pilgrims perform around the Kaaba during the Hajj.
just cause the WTC plaza was flat is not the architect muzzie influences.
No, it's because the architect said it was.
You know when they say 'slide' on something like this, that they haven't taken their shill lessons seriously enough.
The cube at Mecca, the Kaaba is surrounded by Towers; didn't realize that.
Where is the Kabaa?
SA
Koenig himself described the sphere as a counterpoint to the towers and a symbol of “world peace through world trade,” but the plaza’s overall fountain layout (the “symbolic setting in the middle of the plaza” you recalled) was intentionally layered with this Mecca/Kaaba parallel by Yamasaki. Contemporary accounts and art-historical sources explicitly note the sphere as “standing in place of the Kaaba” within the Mecca-inspired fountain ring.

Notice the Turrets around the Kaaba; Like the Turret on the One World Trade (Perps lied (again) and did another bait and switch, told us it would be known as the 'Freedom Tower'
no it wouldn't be)
Turrets surround Kaaba
Why do you think all the European leaders are letting violentt arabs invade their Countries?
