:previous: Those illustrations from Chapelo clearly show that the new WTC is taller than the original.

I don't follow every exact detail, but this one is very interesting indeed. :tup:

Same drawing, though not the one I was referring to.


It's the same plan.

:stunned:

Pic#2 5 years from now:
Need new smilies to convey the mere thought processes involved.

Can't wait until 1wtc mast will be lit up at night with it's beacon shining over the city.:slob:

I can't wait for the cladding to reach the top myself. :cheers:

Is the 1 WTC antenna definitely gonna join Durst's midtown light show?

No. Durst said 1 WTC's mast illumination would play off of the ones in Midtown, but it will be white other than on special occasions.

:previous: NYguy, where do you find all of those amazing photos?

The Winter Garden in the last shot looks like it was made for this tower in the way that the glass appears as an extension of One WTC.

If you look closely, the Winter Garden looks like it could be the entrance to the tower behind it.

Crews are starting to clad the base really fast. Will the glass fins automatically come out or do they have to be manually pulled out? When will tenants be allowed to start moving in?

Glass cladding
 

Does anyone know when is the glass cladding predicted to be finished? I believe it is supposed to be finished sometime before the summer (I can't remember exactly when they said) but I saw progress on the glass shoot up on Earthcam when the cladding hit the mechanical floors but now it has slowed again :???:

Lot of talented photographers out there...these photos are meant to be seen.

last few pics are incredible! wow

Besides the WTC, Goldman Sachs' HQ looks pretty neat.

With the columns of vented glass, 1WTC has a little resemblance to 20 Exchange Place and its three dark arched recesses and columns of windows:

Ever since they did away with the radome and denuded the communications ring, the resemblance is even more uncanny.

:uhh: You do realize in that render the original WTC is behind 1WTC. They are the same height.
