The World Trade Center is in no way intended to evoke sadness.
The first time I saw the Statue of Liberty was from the roof of the South Tower.
In scale with the designs of the LEGO Architectural Series, the World Trade Center model is intended to be a respectful reminder and tribute to the architectural landmark.
