These are more than 20 designs pitched for the World Trade Center site. Many were designed by the who's who of the architecture world of the early 2000s. While many had ideas for what should be built at ground zero it was eventually narrowed down a few proposals shown later in the video till finally Daniel Libeskinds Freedom tower was selected in 2002. A year later he would team up with David Childs of SOM to revise the design. Childs would evolve the design in 2005 to what would eventually be built with the complex sticking to Libeskinds masterplan. The Tribute of light concept would eventually be realized yearly as an art installation off site ontop of the battery park parking garage.

Do you remember all of these proposals? Which one were you hoping would get built.

@zacharyharris628 9 месяцев назад

Twin Towers II would’ve definitely been better and it’s such a shame it didn’t get built, The WTC in gold is also pretty interesting

Twin Towers II 100% thanks for including that in. it's my favorite design better then these current buildings they built.

I like the crystal-looking one, gives a sense of unity and togetherness. Foster and Partners’ glass Twins aren’t half bad either, in fact I prefer them over OWTC, as well as Daniel Liebskind’s original vision for the Ground Zero redesign.

I’m not gonna lie to you- As a New Yorker, who saw the towers fall and now work in the area, most of these designs are terrible to the point of farce. Anything that basically was hollow, half built, wonky in structure as to even suggest collapse or deviancy from normal operations, or came up shorter than the originals is doa and it’s a small miracle we got wtc 1 as is. And most of this goes for wtc 2 proposals as well. What the hell was “spread”? Like the splat of a jumper. Office da is a starter design I like but yea…. Nathan mccraes first design is refreshingly monolithic…we needed something firm, strong, a statement of moving forward, not bending, twisting, appealing to peace or platitudes or hosting scars.

Liebeskind was chosen for a good reason. The grand majority of these designs are absolutely terrible. No sense of proportion or harmony in relation to their environment, and even worse is that they don't respect Yamasaki 's vision of human scale. The concept of Twin Towers 2 sounded cool at least. My personal take would be similar but a bit modernized. Make twin towers but with materials inspired by One WTC. glass buildings, with similar scale and floor count (or with 90-105 floors as the sweet spot). But now that One WTC exists , I'd really love to see Foster+Partners original concept for WTC2, which is almost universally considered the most aesthetically pleasing version. Unfortunately that doesn't seem to happen due to politics and the complicated situation of tenants in nyc right now.

This is one of the most fascinating videos yet because of just how many formal proposals were made, never mind their complexity and buildability... OR controversy... Never was there more feet-dragging and controversy over this site and rightly so. I do think what was built as probably the Greatest compromise in architecture known to date and that's probably a good thing that they "Mean Girled" the site by splitting it up between architects and phases so that they do look cohesive and yet distinct and with the addition of housing soon will be a truly 24-7 global district for the ages... As a journalist AND skyscraper fan seeing this project slowly come back to life over the last 20+ years since that awful day has been fascinating. It was also a cool 30th birthday to be in NYC on a Circle Line Boat Tour the day they lifted the final piece of the spire into place...

@stickynorth 8 месяцев назад

My personal choice was the skeleton version of Childs/Libeskind just before the final design was locked. I loved the open air steel lattice work which reminds me of both the Eiffel Tower and Beijing's Bird's Nest... It brings you all the height and drama of the original twins with none of the structural or safety complexity of having visitors and tenants above a certain height... Much like China has now locked into its national building codes after a few record-breaking towers with great designs but not well thought out economics or safety plans...

@Arkthus 25 дней назад

I would have made Twin Towers but fully reflective glass and have a light system that can change for different occasions, with a special one only appearing on the anniversary of 9/11. The only difference in placement would have been using the empty space between the original towers footprint, so they can still have a memorial with pools like today. And instead of OWTC have the museum built there.

Very cool vid. I remember flipping through a book of all the different proposals when I was young. Gotta say the connected Foster twins were always my favorite

@elijahd.techgnostic 5 месяцев назад

My personal pick would be the initial plan by Foster and Partners. I love how it keeps with the idea of twin towers, but it doesn't just copy the original design, it has it's own unique and sleek geometric design that gives hints to the buildings that once were. Simply beautiful.

@doodledangernoodle2517 7 месяцев назад

I’d love to see the different old Chicago World Trade Center proposals at the NYC WTC site. One of them looks really similar to the OWTC too They were much bigger than the Twins and having one bigger and taller building would’ve been better than one same-sized building like OWTC. It feels incomplete. Also I love that version of the Tribute in Light and how it actually shines up from the footprints. I’ll never understand why they didn’t do it like that

0: Nice idea. 0:45 I'm salivating over this! Cant believe Trump didn't propose this! That would have been awesome! 1:05 2nd favorite, if a tad overwhelming. 1:12 Innovative AND functional! 1:18. God awful and looks like a robot wearing the flags. 1:35 Refreshing design. 1:45 Clunky. 1:55 Could have worked but too many. Should just be two. 2:37 Horrible but would be cool somewhere else. 3:23 Wacky waving Inflatable arm flailing tube man EMPORIUM! Or massive industrial piping. 4:02 Just a supersized spire and not attractive. 4:10 Absolutely not. 4:42 What...what is that? 4:47 Slingshot to heaven! 5:25 Tic Tac Toe Towers. 6:11 Brilliant! 6:55 Sophisticated. 7:46 Way too much going on. 8:10 Not impressive enough. 8:35 Repeat of previous. Looks like it has a feather in its cap. 9:10 Not as impressive as some others but lovely indeed!

@veers2883 9 месяцев назад

Trump Twin Towers II was the the most close to best option of rebuilding this site. Not rebuilding the twins and construction ''Freedom Tower'' with other buildings was a disaster for skyline of New York.

@B.N.Paranornal 7 месяцев назад

I disagree

@conorknott2683 5 месяцев назад

The twin towers was an obsolete design by that point and freedom tower is built much stronger and with what happened to the original wtc in mind when they built it

I honestly like the WTC Alliance and A Tribute in Light, it's simple yet also has a strong feeling to it.

@LINKfromTHElegendOFz 12 дней назад

It's like the twin towers being gone became an art-piece instead of anything practical at some point. I like the beam of light, and the inverted towers, though. But it's something impossible to try to replace with the signifigance left in that spot.

@Windowsmqn95 4 месяца назад

Question. If the FAA has a height limit of 2,000 feet for skyscrapers, why was One WTC not built to that height in its final design? Sooner or later will have another "Chicago Spire" like title taken from WTC, which is dissapointing. 2000/2001 feet would also be symbolic year for the new century, year of the attack to not forget and US would have a megatall. I would've like 1776ft roof height and 2000/1ft architectural total height. Would it be that hard? Also why no open roof observatory on 2 WTC? That was the whole point of. They could've extended observatory structure in glass above those diamonds.

@gryfinryder 8 месяцев назад

If they don’t do a twin to one world trade.. I would like to see them purchase the plans to the Chicago spire and build it at WT2 site.
