The other day I was trying to recreat a "London Pub" look for a website, and I wanted some squiggly little ding-bats for the sides of the name (like you see pictured here). But I couldn't find anything! So my challenge is - What's the name of these little things? By that I mean the generic name for an architectural frill that goes on the side of words on a building.... clues?

Despite, or perhaps because of, its being possibly the dullest National Park in the system, Petrified Forest called ECOSA to redesign the entry station at the park. This is my idea. It's your basic tollbooth, streamlined for wind resistance covered by a translucent canopy the blocks most of the sun and wind. Plus it acts as an archway into the park.
I've decided this "lattice" by THINK is my favorite WTC design, though I never really liked any of the 6 'finalists' much.
However, despite what the newspapers keep saying, none of these proposals will be the world's tallest structure. Those honors go to KTHI-TV in North Dakota whose boroadcast mast reaches 2,063 ft. Nor are either of them the worlds tallest self supporting structure, that honor still goes to the CN tower in Toronto at 1,815 ft. Just so you get the facts straight.
Well, I can't see any major differences in any of the six redesigns of the WTC site. I suppose if I had to pick one, i'd pick this one, because it creates a big confined open space that would feel more like a shrine. I like the idea of something green that you can walk around and look down into, plus it includes the tallest building of the 6 plans, and I think the site needs at least one tall building. I was kinda hoping there would be something symetric built there to evokve the twin towers, but I guess that's not happening.
