By the way, lots of good footage from the original Trade Center and angle views of Tobin Plaza |
This video is a great reminder of perhaps the most magical aspect of the Twins: the aluminum alloy cladding that made them reflect the sunlight and change color throughout the day. (Yamasaki's Federal Reserve Tower in Richmond catches the light in a similar way). It's this aspect that elevated the Twins above "dumb boxes." They functioned, in fact, as a minimalist sculpture on a massive level.
I'm sorry to say that the current building does not have the same kind of power for me.
