Yeah it was windy. The wind shook my camera like it was a toy, and nearly threw my cup of soda off the railing while I was doing the photo op.

I'm curious, is the "roof" in this case directly above the top floor, or is it to the top of the curtain wall?

Roadcruiser1 · #**17045** Posted **Oct 16, 2011, 2:19 AM**

Top floor.

Edited my picture to show how dominating One World Trade Center might become from Brooklyn Bridge Park.

I think the Beekman has taken the honor of the dominant one when looking from ground level from brooklyn or the east. Even when all the WTC towers are completed they will not look very dominant, and 1. have the misfortune of being on the west side, and have to look shorter than they really are and 2. have the misfortune {(to us fortune)} of the Beekman being built, which not only takes the spotlight away from the complex from Brooklyn, but also makes them look short in the process as it is placed on the east side of LM making it look taller.

Sure, if you want to disregard that pesky little element of...you know, depth perception.

Yeah I didn't disregard Depth Perception

Yeah, it's a pity Silverstein et al didn't have the balls to hire Frank Gehry to design the WTC site. Can you imagine how awesome that would have been? But at least NY has a terrific Gehry tower.

hey carlos thanks for posting my pics for me...this is from my i-phone so probably not the best but let me say to you who think this tower is small and no comparison, see it in your face for your self this tower is a beast of a building and can be seen from not only all bouoghs but as far away as old greenwich ct any carlos see you this week

chris123678 · #**17053** Posted **Oct 16, 2011, 3:21 PM**

Hello. So when will they start putting the marble in the Lobby? What's up with the cladding of the base? What floor are we on ? And When will tower four encounter the setback?. I know it's alot, but alot of the info i've been reading as been off.

Roadcruiser1 · #**17054** Posted **Oct 16, 2011, 3:40 PM**

They probably would put the marble in near the very end as finishing touches. The tarp that is covering the base is basically for base work, Tower One is on floor 86, and we still don't know when the setback would begin on Tower 4.

It'll have quite the presence on the horizon. Let's hope 2 and 3 WTCs will join it soon.

That figure reminds me of the placeholders used for the original renderings of possible site layouts for a WTC rebuilt... there was always a stick labeled "skyline element." I guess we got our skyline element AND a truly tall building, after all.

Roadcruiser1 · #**17056** Posted **Oct 16, 2011, 4:31 PM**

It's just a basic sketch. Nothing really. Just to show how far we have to go.

marshall · #**17057** Posted **Oct 16, 2011, 4:31 PM**

I wonder how similar the lobby of 1wtc will be to the old twin towers. I remember they had lots of white marble. Also, the 64th floor skylobby..will it have the same elevator system of taking an express from the ground floor to the 64th then local elevators from 64 to top?

Roadcruiser1 · #**17058** Posted **Oct 16, 2011, 4:55 PM**

It is extremely similar to the original Twin Towers. Only difference is it's one building not two.

Roadcruiser1 · #**17059** Posted **Oct 16, 2011, 5:02 PM**

Yes One World Trade Center would feature the sky lobby feature.
