I just have to make this observation on how crazy 150G/WTC4 is:
From the looks of it, this seems to be the only facade treatment that can capture a high-noon hued sky at freaking dusk.
I mean the reflection is 2x brighter than any light turned on there.

Just waiting for a car to melt because of the reflection. From the bay, it looks like a giant mirror. Amazing.

IIRC that was from the concavity of Sr. Viñoly's Walkie Talkie/45 Fenchurch in London.

For a car to "melt" the facade would have to be concave to focus light, and all the facades of the WTC will be flat, thank goodness. The developers of the concave walkie talkie tower clearly forgot about that.

I'm not sure, but I think the second level is for restaurants and some more retail.

Damn the WTC Complex is complicated! Do you know if the underground West Concourse Hall will also lead into One World Trade Center or only the Transportation Hub?

So the new WTC shopping mall will be on B1 and B2 level under 3 and 4 WTC?

It looks like there will be an office connection at the B2 level...

http://www.panynj.gov/wtcprogress/index.html

Quote:
Workers commuting to One World Trade Center will enjoy unprecedented access to mass transit service. Dazzling new climate-controlled corridors will connect One World Trade Center to the WTC Transportation Hub and the new PATH terminal, 11 NYC Transit subway lines and the new Fulton Street Transit Center, the World Financial Center and ferry terminal, underground parking and world-class shopping and dining.

Yes. However, the Freedom Tower won't have as much retail as the others.

Sadly I agree completely with Banksy on this one. The following is a quote from the artist. I'm certain that most of you here will disagree and you can happily disregard it. I only post it because I hope that some developer somewhere may see this and understand that they are completely devoid of inspiration. It's a business opportunity for any developer who finally figures it out.

See the World Trade Center posting today at:

It just below today's Greenpoint piece.

You know, at first I didn't like the tower either. But the more I look at it, the more I realize just how amazing it truly is. While it could have been better, it certainly is not bad. Do you remember the old designs of the Freedom Tower?

This picture looks a lot better, it seems like the lights are at full intensity.
