Members Chris Posted September 15, 2006 Members Share Posted September 15, 2006 So the plans for the new World Trade Center have been finalized and here are some pictures. I think it looks great. Definitely a new look for America, but it's not original or revolutionary. The only thing I don't like is the name "Freedom Tower." Here are the heights of the buildings, from left to right in most renderings: 1 WTC / Freedom Tower, 1776 FT 2 WTC (Foster), 1350 FT 3 WTC (Rogers), 1255 FT 4 WTC (Maki), 946 FT 7 WTC (Childs), 750 FT Skyline View A Closer Skyline View Close view of the Complex Close View of the Complex at Night View of the Pool/Park View of Entrance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Actor87 Posted September 15, 2006 Members Share Posted September 15, 2006 Okay...in like the 3rd, maybe 4th picture...there's two squares in the bottom right. Is this where the two towers once stood? If so, I'm lost...because I thought they were going to build one big tribute tower right in the middle of where they stood and it was gonna be huge. I heard that at one time...And I also heard that they were going to build around Ground Zero, but leave it there and build some kind of tribute to it. However, in the pic, it looks like a bunch of shrubs around the 2 squares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris Posted September 15, 2006 Author Members Share Posted September 15, 2006 The initial plans could have been changed, though. It looks like a park with two pools or fountains. I'm guessing it is where the two original towers stood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Pine Charles Posted September 15, 2006 Members Share Posted September 15, 2006 I don't like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Shawn Posted September 15, 2006 Members Share Posted September 15, 2006 It gets my approval. Though it cannot replace the original towers in our hearts, this is still a nice design. It will definitely be a sight to see when they finish it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Toadstool Posted September 15, 2006 Members Share Posted September 15, 2006 Not sure what I think. At this point I prefer the design on the ground to skyline. Yes, I've heard those two squares are the footprints of the original south and north towers. But I never appreciated the simplicity of the original towers until they were gone.

Members bellcurve Posted September 15, 2006 Members Share Posted September 15, 2006 I wish they would stick with one design and go with it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members EricaKane70 Posted September 15, 2006 Members Share Posted September 15, 2006 Me either, I would be too scared that terrorist would bomb it. Because when it does re-open there will be alot of attention towards it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
