The One World Trade Center Beacon

Very cool. The pictures posted here remind me of the tower with the beacon in Logopolis (city in an old Dr. Who series).

Excellent post, most interesting pics here in weeks. We need more interior shots, and more of the stonework inside the base and also the base glass now that they have turned most of the fins out.

Does anyone know what is the point of the wires sticking out the bottom of the stairwell? Are they going to attach tile later?

Also, that Allen AR-21 machine, are those common on construction sites now? I've never seen one before. It's a clever idea, a mini-garbage truck for interior spaces to collect construction waste.
I could not agree more! NYGUY thank you SO much for posting those inside photos!!! I really want to see more of the inside, A LOT more!!!

And I must say that the antenna has grown on me. It isn't ideal by any means, but as the temporary platforms come off, it is looking a bit better.
That was the Plan, but it is looking more like after July 4th holiday to install the guys, weather dependent, forecast for monday & tuesday is thunderstorms,

Probably the first photos I have seen in a while to come close to capturing the sheer massiveness of the tower in real life.

I think I might've asked this before, but I would really like somebody to make a render of 1 WTC with the current antenna design and the communication ring filled with the broadcast dishes. I'm curious to see how the contrast will look when it's all up there.

Thanks in advance!

P.S. I would also like to see that possible render of 1 WTC with an entire completed WTC complex just to get a glimpse of the future. I hope I'm not asking for too much!

There are a lot of renderings around on the web of the completed WTC complex...I don`t really see the point of this request....

I was asking if somebody could make a render of the current 1 WTC design but have the comm ring filled with the dishes (because all of the recent 1 WTC show an empty comm ring and I wanna see how the contrast will look) and I know there are many renderings of the entire complex completed but they're all with the original spire design.

Sorry if there was any confusion.

I think the beacon on top is such a smart idea. Seeing it in action last week was really neat. Imagine being 20+ miles away, you'll still be able to see that flash of light. It kinda turns the building into a modern 21st century light house. I like it.

Imagine what it would have looked like with a white radome lit up with the LED floods though... Sigh...

the effect is the same. The difference is just a tacky white skin.
