An aspiring architect has launched an ambitious bid to build a replica of the destroyed Twin Towers as part of a science hub in Chicago.
British aerospace engineering student Raphael Chryslar has proposed constructing two skyscrapers as part of a district he calls the World Technology Center, which would share its initials with the original site.
He has pitched the project as a Science, Engineering, Technology and Mathematics (STEM) hub for the Windy City.

Chryslar, who lives in England, created renderings of the center that show the two iconic towers resurrected in Chicago's South Loop, although with wider windows covered with bright blue glass.
The towers are designed to stand 110 stories tall, rising 1,500 feet into the sky. The complex would comprise eight buildings across a 35-acre site.
'The Twin Towers are designed to the latest in modern safety standards that improve massively from the legacy,' the World Technology Center website stated.

According to a January 1 update on the World Technology Center's Facebook page, Chryslar visited Chicago in December to pitch his idea to local politicians.
'We have secured direct contacts, and they have requested our team to keep in touch internally as the project evolves,' the update said.
Chryslar says the new towers are equipped with enhanced safety technology, including anti-aircraft defenses, in a bid to prevent a repeat of 9/11.
Construction on the World Technology Center is slated to begin in 2030, with a target launch date of 2050, according to its website.

There is some support for building the World Technology Center, and the project's website cites 9,184 individuals' statements and signatures from the Twin Towers Alliance expressing support for rebuilding the towers.
'I hope this happens. I can't think of anything more satisfying than seeing the Towers once again stand,' one person wrote on Reddit.
'This is actually quite a robust concept, unlike a few pre-9/11 WTC rebuild ideas. I've had a look [at] the proposal's website and the plans are very well thought out,' wrote a second person.
