Has anyone visited the first post of this thread lately? I feel like it could really use a face lift because there are some ancient renderings on there. It'd be nice to see some of STR's stuff on there and some of the older ones weeded out, or at least reorganized as "earlier versions". The whole post just seems haphazardly put together and poorly designed.

Perhaps it could also include an FAQ section (i.e. constant arguments about height, how this building is measured, etc. etc.)

nah, its not neccessary.

The first posts are pretty much a "time capsule". It contains thoughts and renderings of what people thought were "true"- only today we realize that it was totally different.

In other words, it's history.

Well not really...the headline post serves as the cover page for most threads on this forum and many of them are updated as more information becomes available. I just think it would helpful, and it might slow the conversations about the same stuff that comes up over and over and over again every few months or so. I know the American Commerce Center's thread was set up that way...

i agree... maybe put a *updated* part at the bottom of the post.. but it does need to be updated. someone should send m II a II r II k a pm asking him to update it.

Judging by that last pic, I'd say 7's dominance has already left...

Thank you !! Much appreciated!

Tower 7's dominance will end withing mid to late april when the next 2 floors will be added to Tower 1 because as it stands now Tower 1 is 720 feet tall, Tower 7 is 742 feet tall. Now Each office floor for Tower1 is 13 feet 4 Inches tall so times that by 2 at its 26 feet 8 inches. Now 720 feet plus 26 feet 8 Inches is 746 Feet and 8 inches tall, and that would be enough to surpass Tower 7 and take the title as 21 st tallest building in New York City.

Nice! It's like I'm watching it get built.. all by itself.

Beautiful pic newhannibal! Thanx for posting. That's one hell of a view from the Club Quarter's isn't it!?

I've been engrossed in my painting set in October (http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/showthread.php?t=189324; it's odd to see Four WTC now obstructing a lot of the buildings to the NE.

You also have me considering changing the traffic on West St from static to time-lapse like I did for my Atlanta painting http://www.urbanimpressionist.com/m-atl.html to capture the electricity of the City. Hmmm decisions, decisions.

Oh and

Thanks, this is just a teaser. I'm currently making the upper floors and attempting to make the spire time-lapse as well. Hopefully that will be a little longer than my first.

So basically it is half-way done. Wow it sure seems pretty big already. 6 more meters to overtake Seven World Trade Center.

......really fun to watch.

These diagrams are awesome!

I hope he continues these with WTC 2 and 3.

Roadcruiser1 · #**12918** Posted **Mar 30, 2011, 7:06 PM**

Wow One World Trade Center is really dominating. If it wasn't for the surround high rises, and if it was built in a low rising area instead you would really see something jutting up into the air.

WOW!!!!! It's very good to see this again!!!!

I haven't seen this in a very long time. I love how you can see how tall it is on the Empire State Building. This tower is getting up there finally!!!!

The Grand Architect · #**12920** Posted **Mar 30, 2011, 10:04 PM**

I can see the headlines, big, bold, black letters:

"One World Trade Center surpasses Empire State Building"

"Becomes tallest building in New York"
