So it looks like The Freedom Tower is back to being the tallest in the US upon completion

Because Calatrava is overrated and not all of his designs are original from one another?

Really Coming Along, However Is It Me Or Is It Hard To See The Footprints If The North Tower , It Just Seems Like The Steel Is Covering Too Much , But Maybe Its Way To Early Yet !!!!!!!!

CSABA8 · #**4007** Posted **Dec 27, 2008, 7:19 PM**

Great pictures !.

Lecom · #**4008** Posted **Dec 28, 2008, 1:28 AM**

Nice to see the memorial take shape next to the FT. I kept waiting for steel to rise around the footprints till recently it hit me that it's the one place where it won't be rising. Common sense thould've told me earlier than when you build voids, you create them by building everything around them but not the voids themselves.

Great to see this one growing!

oiler-dude · #**4010** Posted **Dec 28, 2008, 2:38 AM**

Lookin' good so far.

Are there any renderings of how the entire WTC site will look when completed?

Ah, cool. I didn't know he had helped design the Mexico WTC.

America 117 · #**4013** Posted **Dec 28, 2008, 4:48 AM**

^I don't think he did. Did he?

I think this pic has already been posted but take a look.
If this is what the FT is really going to look like, then im really liking the facade!

jason111 · #**4018** Posted **Dec 29, 2008, 4:57 AM**

good to see this one actually going up with the spire and waterfront tower both on hold

Lt. Washburn · #**4019** Posted **Dec 29, 2008, 7:51 PM**

Hey, can anyone tell if they are pouring part of the floor right now? There are white tubes trailing from street level down to the part of the tower that they built up rebar in recently.

Probably so.
