I just watched The Debrief with David Ushery today on NBC 4. There was a small segment in which Ushery was talking with a correspondent about 1WTC in regards to the building's height. The correspondent used a pencil and a slim but substantial-looking paper cone that fits over the pencil to compare the new design that Durst wants to build with the original spire design.

The correspondent remarked that he had doubts about whether the building council would regard the stripped-down spire as an actual spire as opposed to an antenna, which would have a bearing on the 1WTC's official height. Both Ushery and the correspondent also made off-the-cuff remarks about the NYNJPA trying to save money on the spire. Therefore, IMO, the correspondent was really implying that the the new spire design was awful-looking and done out of cheapness. (note: this is only my opinion based on what I watched)

I've kind of given up hope re: the spire, but it is nice to see the media picking up on the bullshit.

If anyone can make the spire situation better, it's David Childs, I believe him when he says he'll do something about it, or at least try.

New steel is going up now folks for the 103rd floor. I can see it on Earthcam although the shot is kind of blurry, but let's wait for the Carlos cam for confirmation.

It's not a matter of if they can, it's if it is desired, which it isn't according to Durst.

Most people seem to agree that the change is not for the better, but the people who it really matters to don't care, and we suffer for it.

Indeed, and it's fairly clear on the live Torch Cam (along with a partially completed new row of glass).

Quote:

In his remarks this afternoon, Port Authority Executive Director Patrick Foye reiterated the Port’s intention to refocus its core mission on transportation and away from real estate. “Multibillion dollar projects by starchitects don’t cut it anymore,” he said, adding later, “Governments don’t have the animal spirits to get real estate done.” Though he praised the efforts at the World Trade Center it remains clear from yesterday’s very public spat with David Childs that architectural flourishes will play second fiddle to infrastructure.

“There is a significant risk of backlash from the public for vanity projects that don’t get their return,” he said. Though he praised marketable details like floor to ceiling windows at One World Trade, he quickly returned to the transit theme. “One World Trade is the symbol of our resilience,” he said, “but it can and will be more than that because it incorporates transportation.”

These steel beams are for floors 102M and 103. One World Trade Center is 1,293 feet tall. There is still at least 2 more jumps. The next set would be floors 104 and 105 followed by 106 and parapet. That would be the topping off ceremony.
