It has something intriguing and archetypical about it, but isn't the form a delugan meissl rip off (Twin Tower competition 1996)? Or are they in the same sect :D I like the concept.

It's a strong concept executed courageously. Give the designer a break.

Unorthodox form for a cross, which I think is good, because it is innovation. I see… well, it's highly conceptual and I like it.

Ash is still there, because purpose of the gate is dispersion ash of deads to landscape. Zumthor probably wanted to symbolize hermitage of Brother Claus, which disappeared by time. Zumthor symbolized it by burning. Brother Claus had a vision (in his lifetime), he saw himself in high tower. The main idea of burning was ritual of first dispersion ash to landscape.
