MurcieOne Posted March 3, 2003 Share Posted March 3, 2003 I heard on Stern today that they're building a new WTC............. anyone fill me in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KipWellsFan Posted March 3, 2003 Share Posted March 3, 2003 I saw a contest from my paper here in WInnipeg Canada. And there were some proposed designs. It was like a contest where big architecture firms were competing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AssHatSoxFan Posted March 3, 2003 Share Posted March 3, 2003 I know that they have in fact selected a final design for the new buildings to be put up but I couldn't find the link. I know i saw it on CNN or something but I do know for sure they have a design and it looks pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CubKilla Posted March 3, 2003 Share Posted March 3, 2003 The new design is a number of buildings..... just like the old WTC was. The new WTC will have more buildings. However, none of the new buildings will be as tall as the Twin Towers. The new design also incorporates a 1700+ foot spire which will, I believe, make the new WTC spire the tallest ever man-made object. What clinched this design is an all-glass garden at ground level that will cast no shadows every Sept 11th between the time when the first plane hit the first tower to the time the second tower fell. The new design also will incorporate a memorial dedicated to those that lost their lives on Sept. 11th. I read all of this information at CNN.com. You may still be able to access the winning design and specifications there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted March 3, 2003 Share Posted March 3, 2003 Ya, I heard about the shadows and that sounded really cool. It has to take a lot of planning/astrology, etc to get it planned out perfectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwsox Posted March 3, 2003 Share Posted March 3, 2003 I think it was a little more astronomy than astrology! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doubleM23 Posted March 5, 2003 Share Posted March 5, 2003 I read about it in Sunday's USA Today and the CNN Tower in Toronto will still have the new World Trade Center spire beat by like 100 feet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyeGuy Posted March 5, 2003 Share Posted March 5, 2003 I read about it in Sunday's USA Today and the CNN Tower in Toronto will still have the new World Trade Center spire beat by like 100 feet. Good, leave one of Canada's claims to fame alone, lord knows there isn't that much up here. Hell I got 14in. of snow yesterday, so I drank some rye(good ol' employee appreciation night for the town free booze is sweet). I like the skiing but the CN Tower is our s***, you already took away our biggest mall leave our free standing structure alone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
