Architect Unveils Plan To Rebuild Twin Towers But This Time With One Insane New Feature

OK, there are a LOT of asterisks in that headline…

…because, when I say ‘architect’ I really mean, “aspiring architect”. …and when I say “unveils” what I really mean is ‘makes a website’. …and when I say “plan” I really mean, ‘3D model in SketchUp’. …and when I say ‘rebuild Twin Towers’ I actually mean ‘build two completely different buildings’…

…but ‘Aspiring Architect Makes Website For 3D SketchUp Model Of Two Random Buildings’ isn’t exactly clickbait now is it?

The “insane new feature” bit is true, though. You’ll never guess. OK, yeah, it’s lasers, how did you guess?

Our “aspiring architect and astronaut” (sic) obviously only wants to do step one of 9/11 (building the towers) and not step two. So to prevent this, the new buildings will have, “A radar tracking system, radio interception and communication antenna (to validate the threat) and as a last resort either anti-aircraft surface-to-air missiles (SAMs) or a multi-megawatt laser defense weapon” all mounted on the roof.

Makes sense, I mean, we all know airplane’s one weakness is laser pointers.

Twin Twin Towers

Oh and by the way, did I mention that these towers would be built in Chicago? Yeah. Oh and did I say they’d be massive data-centers? Because naturally, this is 2026 after all. Oh and did I mention the estimated cost is up to $20 billion?

Yeah, so, if you’re starting to think this isn’t a real thing, you’d be right.

This is the work of Raphael Chryslar (no relation) a aerospace engineering student in England. Chryslar has zero experience with architecture or construction but does have an obsession with the Twin Towers ever since he watched Home Alone 2 (his words, not mine) and now sports a tattoo of the WTC on his arm.

It all starts to fall into place when on the site, Chrysler describes himself as an “author, photographer, aerospace engineer, entrepreneur” and crucially, autistic. It seems that the Twin Towers just happens to be his hyperfixation.

And I’m not knocking anything here, it’s a neat-looking website and a lot of thought and work has gone into it. Will it get built? No. But maybe (hopefully) that’s not the point. As a fun fan-fiction (fan-architecture?) project, though, it’s well worth a look.
