man, i love downtown. the street layout, the architecture, it looks and feels bigger than it is. i like midtown as well,but the grid doesnt allow building to be noticed quite as well; on top of that, i dont like knowing where i am all the time, so with midtown there is very little mystery, though large and expansive wich allows more room for expression. downtown on the other hand has nooks and crannies that even natives might not know about, alot a vantege points. in other words, downtown is more of a signiture with elegant building, whereas midtown is more about economic dynamics...one think that stands out though is battery park city, im not sure how i feel about it, because the architecture doesnt seem good enough, the heights of the residential towers could be taller, particularly because of where theyre located, the demand for residences in that area is probably enormous....
The Citicorp building is barely strong enough to stand up in a stiff breeze. It wasn't even that strong because of a major contractor screwup until welded a bunch of joints.
You could pick up lower Manhattan with WTC1.
Archimedes might finally have his lever. Now he just needs a place to stand.
“Office buildings are our factories – whether for tech, creative or traditional industries we must continue to grow our modern factories to create new jobs,” said United States Senator Chuck Schumer.
‘Ground Zero’ is a term that no longer applies, according to NYC mayor

Ground Zero is a term that no longer applies, according to NYC mayor
I fully agree here, I mentioned it several times before that people should finally stop using the term Ground Zero. There's no hole anymore, heck we already got a 1000 feet scraper soaring into the sky. From now on, let's just call the whole thing by its name: the WTC site.
While new buildings rise at the World Trade Center, leaseholder Larry Silverstein says he has no doubt those buildings will soon be fully occupied.
Speaking on last night's "Inside City Hall", Silverstein noted that after the terror attacks, a lot of people thought new skyscrapers at the site would never attract enough businesses to be successful.
But now that tower 7 is fully leased, Silverstein is confident the other buildings will attract similar interest.
He says he's in negotiations with several large firms to lease space in the towers.
"There was a massive exodus from Lower Manhattan at that moment in time. As I watched this I said to myself, 'We've gotta stop this, and the only way to stop this is to start rebuilding,'" Silverstein said.
Later this morning, Mayor Michael Bloomberg will join Silverstein, Port Authority executive director Chris Ward, and other officials to give a progress report on the rebuilding efforts.

Just a friendly reminder, don't forget NOVA's "Engineering Ground Zero" airs tonight Sept 7th at 9pm et on PBS(see preview above) looks like a cool show. NOVA's cameras have been following the rebuilding for years, and the show seems to focus a lot on One WTC. I for one am excited to watch them raise that spire on top of the tower once the floors are finished, that will be a sight to behold!
I don't think we'll see 1000' in the next 4 days..Rain will keep fallin' forever as it seems..
