#10    One World Trade Center won’t be sold anytime soon, says Port Authority,More info:curbed

Well, so much for trying to sell the One World Trade Center building. Just a week after news emerged that the Port Authority was looking into a potential sale of the building to generate as much as $5 billion for its other needs, the chairman of the agency, John Degnan, is saying otherwise.

In a conversation with Politico, Degnan clarified that the agency wasn’t talking to any brokers, and that the building was not going to be sold anytime in the near future. Politico pointed out that Degnan’s comment was just a reiteration of what the Port Authority has been saying since 2014 when news first emerged that a One World Trade Center sale could be in the offing.

At the time, the agency had talked about wanting to divest itself of its “non-transportation-related holdings at 1 World Trade Center,” but Degnan clarified to Politico that the agency had never specified when or how it would do that.

#8    WORLD TRADE CENTER TRANSPORTATION HUB,More info:heintges

The World Trade Center Transportation Hub, designed by Santiago Calatrava, has become a new icon for New York City. Delicate-yet-powerful, the structure provides a grand welcome to travelers arriving by subway or PATH commuter train. The terminal, located on the former ground-zero site, serves as a regional transportation hub as well as a significant cultural and retail destination.

The main hall, known as the Oculus, is a soaring sculptural steel-and-glass shell enclosing a cathedral-like space and flooding it with natural light. This freestanding lens-shaped structure appears to have wings formed by steel ribs that extend upward beyond the main enclosure. Where the “wings” meet along a curved ridge, a 330-foot operable skylight allows for ventilation and passive conditioning of the space below and is opened ceremonially on September 11th. The sunlight that enters through the ribbed enclosure also suffuses the train platforms, 60 feet below ground, with natural light.

The complex geometry of the skeletal structure dictates that nearly every steel rib and lite of glass is a slightly different shape. Atypical construction sequences were employed during installation. The curtain wall and skylight systems are designed to accommodate a complex set of performance criteria, with special attention paid to security, energy efficiency and dynamic movement of the structure.

Heintges provided consulting services for the exterior enclosure and interior glazing for all phases of design and construction.

#7     Touring 3 World Trade Center, a Supertall On the Rise in Lower Manhattan,More info:curbed

Construction work at 3 World Trade Center, one of the many building that make up the revitalized WTC campus, is currently in full swing: the building stands just over 900 feet tall at present, and when construction wraps up in 2018, the structure will stand 1,079 feet tall, making it one of the tallest skyscrapers in the city.

But it took a while to get to here: When the financial crisis hit in 2008, the future of several projects at the World Trade Center were thrown in turmoil—including this tower and its neighbor 2 World Trade Center. The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey wanted to significantly decrease the heights of all the buildings, and 3WTC might well have ended up being a four-story structure. But Silverstein Properties, led by its head Larry Silverstein, was determined to see the projects as they were originally imagined.

The World Trade Center Memo­r­ial in New York City is the cen­tre­piece of the new World Trade Center. Strict design guide­lines regard­ing sus­tain­abil­ity had to be observed for the plan­ning of Memo­r­ial Plaza. Bear­ing this in mind, Land­scape Archi­tect Peter Walker and Light Designer Paul Marantz opted to work with Selux to develop the light­ing for this envi­ron­men­tally-friendly public space.
