| Description |
Per Wikipedia: "One World Trade Center (also known as 1 World Trade Center, One WTC and 1 WTC; the current building was dubbed the "Freedom Tower" during initial basework) is the main building of the rebuilt World Trade Center complex in Lower Manhattan, New York City. It is the tallest skyscraper in the Western Hemisphere, and the fourth-tallest in the world. The supertall structure has the same name as the North Tower of the original World Trade Center, which was completely destroyed in the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. The new skyscraper stands on the northwest corner of the 16-acre World Trade Center site, on the site of the original 6 World Trade Center. One World Trade Center became the tallest structure in New York City in April 2012, when it surpassed the height of the Empire State Building. The tower's steel structure was topped out in August 2012. On May 10, 2013, the final component of the skyscraper's spire was installed, making the building, including its spire, reach a total height of 1,776 feet. Its height in feet is a deliberate reference to the year when the U. S. Declaration of Independence was signed. The building opened in November 2014, and is bounded by West Street to the west, Vesey Street to the north, Fulton Street to the south, and Washington Street to the east. The winner of the World Trade Center Site Memorial Competition was Israeli architect Michael Arad of Handel Architects, a New York- and San Francisco-based firm. Arad worked with landscape-architecture firm Peter Walker and Partners on the design, a forest of trees with two square pools in the center where the Twin Towers stood. On September 11, 2011, a dedication ceremony commemorating the tenth anniversary of the attacks was held at the Memorial. It opened to the public the following day." The two square pools are shown in the right foreground of the image above, which was taken from the 48th floor of the Holiday Inn at 99 Washington Street, New York (NY). DSC_0114 |
