Three architects who design the site where once stood the World Trade Trade Center in New York, destroyed September 11, 2001, have unveiled their plans last Thursday, giving a first overview of the future "lower Manhattan. The British
Norman Foster and Richard Rogers and Japanese Fumihiko Maki designed each one of the towers to be built by 2012 around the memorial of the attacks.
3 architects for three distinct architectural approaches:
Dubbed "200 Greenwich Tower" or " Tower No. 2," the tower designed by British architectural firm Foster and Partners rise to 382 meters high and will include 78 floors. It will have such an apartment of about 15,000 m2 "is a powerful symbol of faith in the future," said Norman Foster. "The impressive height of the tower celebrates the spirit from the outset led Manhattan to build tall, and diamond-shaped summit will be a landmark in the line of skyscrapers in the city."
Designed by Richard Rogers, the "175 Greenwich Tower", or "turn No. 3" will be 352 meters tall with 71 floors, it leaves ample room for transparency. Built on three floors, the entrance will include a view of the memorial.
Finally, the "150 Greenwich Tower", or "turn No. 4", designed by Fumihiko Maki completes the package. 288 meters high, this tower of 61 floors will offer a minimalist design and a color moving by daylight.
Composed of three buildings, the iconic Freedom Tower and a memorial to victims September 11, the future World Trade Center (whose construction is already underway) should be released in 2012 .
