uhmmm who did that rendering?? must have forgotten that 7 WTC is NOT there... :koko:
P.S. if they build anything at all next to 1 WTC, would they rename it 6 WTC???...

It really is amazing how much progress they have made over the past year. Considering how about a year ago, many thought none of this would be done with the next 5-6 years.

Just watching this old video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpD4J...eature=related

Very happy to see this finally taking shape.

Rest in Peace of all the ones lost in 9/11

here's an interesting video from someone in 7WTC.

RIP to everyone who died here 9 years ago.

Am glad to see this is now taking shape more quickly.

Not to sound calace, but I have a hard enough time avoiding the news let alone people drilling in 9/11 evey year to bring it all back home. Please keep anything related to the Twin Towers in the appropriate thread!!!

Wow wow wow wow wow!!!!!! So is the glass really going to look like the rendering here? And is WTC2 really going to have opaque tops to diamond roofs? Boy I hope so...some of the older renderings have me worried.

I don't understand why some newspapers etc. always don't include the spires atop the towers 2 and 3....

Nice images NYGuy, progress at Ground Zero is now clearly visiable for the world community.

can some one PLEASE show me how tall tower 1v2 is compare to the verizon aka varcey building is. i know how tall is it comparrison to feet, but i would like to see it in actuall comparsent to the varcey, aka verzion building in terms of physical height. like them standing next to eack other. thank you.

That's what I'm wondering myself. I've seen renders with the glass for 1WTC being grey, sliver, light blue, soft green, soft green/blue (depending on the light) and now this render seems to show dark blue. Does anyone know for sure what color is going to be? This is the "supposed" mock-up, but I think it's from years ago. I guess who knows what the final product is going to look like.

Here's some information on the curtain wall, what we do know: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/09/ny...X13AVA1EKEfcaw

Like that^^^, but you can tell its color will greatly depend on natural light just like 7 WTC. It would have been nice if someone had shot that photo with the sun high in the air that day.

can i expect glass next week? i mean its getting pretty tall...

a good picture from wtc.comhttp://www.wtc.com/media/images/d/14...-Woolhead1.jpg

Right, I agree. The picture is taken kind of in the shadows. It looks green to me, but I guess a neutral blue might be closer. We'll see. I think 7WTC's glass is wavier, this looks very clear.
