At the northern end of Ground Zero, the new 104-story tower is rising into the skyline of a city full of perserverance after the 9/11 attacks. Tower 1 of the new World Trade Center, will have 3.1 million square feet of office space with a vast underground transportation infrastructure. Near the top, there will be a two-level observation deck with a restaurant.
Archrecord.construction.com says, "But when the designers of the $3.19 billion project describe the building, they generally focus first on its potential as a symbol: “It will serve as the marker of the 9/11 memorial on the skyline,” says David Childs, consulting design partner to Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM)."
The tower will be the most "undefinable" building in New York City. (pretty much meaning unique) Its scheme is simple and iconic, resembling the Washington Monument. The building is not just square but rotated like a spire from its base, which makes it eye candy for us people that love architecture! Also, the two reflective pools at Ground Zero reflect the light onto the buildings. (hints the word: reflective) This makes the future towers shine. They are going to be absolutely beautiful!
More posts on the World Trade Center are coming soon.
