One World Trade Center and the new World Trade Center is symbolic. The height of One World Trade Center which is 1,776 feet is symbolic of American Independence. The buildings surround One World Trade Center will make a spiral staircase like look to replicate the staircase in the torch of the Statue of Liberty. It also acts as a way to protect the footprints of the former Twin Towers. This is the design for the new World Trade Center. Hopefully people will stop arguing and finally see the meaning here.

This thread is a mess, daily. For all you people who want to blow out anything WTC related, that thread is located here:
http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/showthread.php?t=166333


This thread is for those of us who want to follow the construction of this tower.

Wow, this picture is amazing. Too bad the pier is sticking in on the left, but the colours and haze are amazing.

I think they will need to jump the cranes in order to erect the next level of core steel, yes?

While we are talking about the tower normally there have been news articles recently again with people complaining about the tower's height, or the floor count. Here are three examples.

Yes, so what's next? Crane jump? Cocoon raise? Steel?

Weather doesn't look great this weekend but will they be working?

Thanks

Seems like a cocoon raising soon, and they don't usually work on weekends.
