I biked over the Brooklyn Bridge about a week ago and noticed that 1 WTC is now clearly visible from the Brooklyn approach.

If it is ok with you can i see a pic of Tower 1v2 for the stand point that you were able to see the building fro the Bridge. Thanks

Cause that will more or less tell me when the tower will really be toppled off, and iI dont meant what path said I mean the real time frame.

12.

What are those little oddly-spaced vertical elements in the beam at the top of the this picture?

Plokoon11 · #**9155** Posted **Jul 23, 2010, 2:09 AM**

^ I believe they are for the windows?

JSsocal · #**9156** Posted **Jul 23, 2010, 3:59 AM**

Correct they're gonna hold up that big curtain wall that's going right there.

Maybe this is a stupid question, but how come the SOM renders and models (as in the above 2-d render) show the building to have no taper?

Regarding the same render, how about making the antenna ring a 2-level glassed-in observation deck, angling outward as the render depicts. The outdoor section could be on it's roof, right at 1400 ft.

Outward-canted glass would certainly look much nicer than rows of microwave antenna dishes-which in my view detracts significantly from the overall structure. (still can't figure out why the change from the much more esthetic polygon shaped original design

)

The 2D diagram is accurate. The building does not taper. However the corners begin to chamfer inward as you move up. The walls remain entirely vertical except at the corners.

I thought 4WTC was done. Why does it say in the diagram that it's under construction? Or am I mistaking something.

cactus22minus1 · #**9160** Posted **Jul 23, 2010, 8:30 AM**

7WTC is done, not 4.
