We have watched and waited as the planners worked on a final design for the World Trade Center site in lower Manhattan. On Thursday there was an unveiling of the new scheme for the sixteen acre site which has been largely vacant space for five years. Surely, everyone looks forward to the day when the new towers are complete, and the downtown skyline is restored.
A master design of three buildings which draw the eye to the 9.11 memorial that will be the central focus of the development is the latest concept for the site.
From the New York Daily News: The new World Trade Center came into dazzling view yesterday with designs for three gleaming towers intended to complete the sacred site and revive the downtown skyline.
The tallest and most striking of the new buildings will feature a top cut into four diamond shapes that will shine down upon the sunken pools where the twin towers stood.
Unlike the fallen towers, the planned office buildings - 78, 71 and 61 stories tall - will show off different profiles, while working as an ensemble when they're completed by 2012.
Standing along the eastern side of the 16-acre site, opposite the much bigger Freedom Tower, the newly designed buildings will form a descending spiral toward the planned World Trade Center Memorial, architects said yesterday.
May God Bless The United States of America
