I'm tired of looking at that netting at the bottom..when will they start cladding the base??

So since the core steel columns are 40' I think, how tall will the perimeter columns be?

^^^ A similar article was posted several pages back.

So how many feet tall does the Chrysler building look to you? At what point does it stop registering? Or how about the ESB--does its top roof not register to your eyes, being as narrow as much of 1WTC's spire?

On a side note, does anyone know of a rendering that shows the tower at night with the beacon shining? I never came across one, so I was just wondering...

New World Trade Center at night. Credits to WTC.com.

Note: Changes have been made to One World Trade Center's base so it looks different, and the X beams have been removed from Three World Trade Center.

STR has left for a while to tend to matters. He will be back though.

The cranes pick it up, and put the steel into place.

The columns are two floors high. Each column equals 2 floors.

Yeah, I've noticed people on these forums tend to overlook or under appreciate the effect that beacon will have. It has no other comparison in history.
