Does anybody know why there are spaces between the glass beginning at the 20th floor?

Also does anybody have some pictures inside the freedom tower construction?

Does anybody know why there are spaces between the glass beginning at the 20th floor?

The space is there to prepare for the curtain wall installation. The question and the answer itself are italicized below.

Ask the Port Authority
http://www.panynj.gov/wtcprogress/q-a-response-lynda-tollner3.html"]http://www.panynj.gov/wtcprogress/q-a-response-lynda-tollner3.html
Ask The Port Authority
Lynda Tollner is a program director in the World Trade Center Construction Department with design and construction responsibilities for One World Trade Center.

Ms. Tollner has more than 25 years of experience in project management and structural engineering and has worked for the Port Authority for seven years. In the past, she has managed design and construction of a variety of commercial, institutional and transportation facilities including projects at LaGuardia and Newark Liberty International airports and the Port Authority's current headquarters at 225/233 Park Avenue South.

One World Trade Center is scheduled for completion at the end of 2013.

(Note: We received more than 40 questions in response to our "Ask the PA" feature on One World Trade Center. Some of the questions were repetitive, so to avoid redundancy, we eliminated several of them).

Q. When do you anticipate that 1 WTC steel installation will exceed 7 WTC in height? – John, Washington, WA

A. John, we are getting real close. We expect to exceed the height of 7 WTC in February. Right now, we are on the 56th floor.

Q. What do you see as the greatest challenges looking forward toward completion of 1 WTC? – Mike, Moravia, N.Y.

A. We encounter challenges with this project every day and our staff works diligently to meet each and every one of them. Perhaps the greatest challenge we will face in the future is the construction of the 408-foot antenna concurrent with the completion of the roof and the rooftop mechanical systems. Essentially, we will be undertaking two separate projects simultaneously in very limited space.

Q. When do you expect 1 WTC to become the tallest structure downtown, as well as in New York City? Also, why does the first floor of glass skip to every other piece, and finally when will the plaza finishes begin? – Anthony, Commack, N.Y.

A. We anticipate 1 World Trade Center will be the tallest structure downtown by mid-summer when it surpasses the Beekman Tower, and the tallest in the City when it surpasses the Empire State Building by the end of this year. The missing panels of glass on the 20th floor were left out intentionally to accommodate supports for the protection required for the curtain wall glass installation.

Q. When I visited last week, I noticed something strange with the glass. The reflections of things close to the building are very clear, but buildings and objects that are far away seem to be wavy and odd. Is this because the glass has just started to go in? Is there a film on the glass? – George, Philadelphia, PA

A. George, there is no film on the glass. Once the building is fully enclosed and pressurized, the wavy reflection will be reduced.

And for the pictures inside construction, I found a few that are not very old but aren't recent either.

Has anyone heard the news?

The 911 Museum won't open on the 11 anniversary because of Financial disputes.

Spoils my plans.

I agree this is totally absurd. The museum should open on the 11th anniversary of 9/11.:(

My guess is that this will be topped out right in the end-of-February/beginning of March window, weather-dependent of course.

Well, it’s my first post of the year. We'll be seeing this tower peak and finish the first step of restoring and enhancing the New York skyline. Happy New Year everyone and get ready for this tower to become the tallest building in New York City and hopefully a permanent successor to the Empire State Building.

^ So are you saying that only 1WTC should be taller than the ESB. Or you hope that this tower stands the tallest forever in NYC. Or you want this to be taller than the ESB but are open to other taller buildings being built.

I see that something is covering the Blast Wall In the Lobby

Is this because they are adding or going to add the marble soon?

Appreciate the constant photo updates, good job guys!

The Hudson River looks muddy in those last pictures. Normally it looks blue, have you guys had a lot of rain lately?

^ So are you saying that only 1WTC should be taller than the ESB. Or you hope that this tower stands the tallest forever in NYC. Or you want this to be taller than the ESB but are open to other taller buildings being built.

I read it as him wishing for this building to be a lasting successor to the ESB; i.e. not being removed.

I may be in New York for the first time over Spring Break, and in between spells of sensory overload I plan to see this tower up close in person. I love the polygonal faces catching the reflection.

For some reason the tower appears to be huge from a distance, but up close it isn't as intimidating. :shrug:

In some angles,this tower looks very slender,and in others, it's bulky.
