Best viewed on black & large: Skyscraper under construction: The Goldman Sachs New World Headquarters building is a 740-ft tall, 43-story building under construction in the Battery Park City neighborhood in New York City. The Goldman Sachs building is being constructed on the Site 26 parcel, located on West Street, between Vesey and Murray Streets. It is adjacent to the World Financial Center and the Embassy Suites hotel, across the street from the Verizon Building, and catty-corner to the World Trade Center site and the Freedom Tower. The Goldman Sachs building is designed by Pei Cobb Freed & Partners, and will be a LEED-certified green building. The project has received $1 billion in Liberty Bonds, which provide tax-free financing. It is expected to open in late 2008 or 2009, when Goldman's lease expires at One New York Plaza and at 85 Broad St. Skyscraper in foreground: Three World Financial Center is one of the thirty tallest skyscrapers in New York City, located on West Street between Liberty Street and Vesey Street in Lower Manhattan. Rising 739 feet (225 m), the building is the tallest of the four buildings in the World Financial Center complex that stands in southwest Manhattan. It is similar in design to Two World Financial Center, except that its roof is a solid pyramid rather than 2 WFC's dome-shaped design. The building is home to the world headquarters of American Express, among other companies. It is an example of postmodern architecture, as designed by Cesar Pelli & Associates, and contains over 2.1 million square feet (195,000 m²) of rentable office area. It connects to the rest of the World Financial Center complex through a courtyard leading to the Winter Garden, a dramatic glass-and-steel public space with a 120 ft (37 m) vaulted ceiling under which there is an assortment of trees and plants, including sixteen 40 ft (12 m) palm trees from the Mojave Desert. It is notably similar in design to One Canada Square in London's Canary Wharf development. Canary Wharf was, like the World Financial Center, a project by Canadian developers Olympia & York, and One Canada Square was designed by the same architects. Three World Financial Center was severely damaged by the falling debris when the World Trade Center towers collapsed on September 11, 2001. The building's southeast corner took heavy structural damage, though the effects were not enough to create a threat of collapse. The building had to be closed for repairs from September 11, 2001 until May 2002 as a result of damage sustained in the terrorist attacks. Three World Financial Center is today World headquarters of American Express, and was once World Headquarters of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc.
NYC - Battery Park City: World Financial Center Plaza
Made by wallyg
The World Financial Center Plaza is a 3.5 acre landscaped park surrounding the North Cove yacht harbor. It is the first major public waterfront plaza built on the Hudson River, a landmark in public space design resulting from a collaboration among architect Cesar Pelli, landscape architect M. Paul Friedberg and artists Siah Armajani and Scott Burton. The plaza was commissioned by the Battery Park City Authority as part of its public art program, and is the center of Battery Park City. It was conceived not as an independent entity, but as a unique episode along the 1.5-mile waterfront esplanade. The Plaza's design is characterized by its visual imaginativeness and by a social intention, an attempt to work not for viewers but for users. The plaza was conceived as a multi-purpose space, providing the pleasure of variety via a range of open spaces for individuals and intimate groups, as well as for large public gatherings. To accomplish this objective, the team divided the site into zones. Along the edge of North Cove is seating designed by Scott Burton. Here you can watch the sunset, and read passages from and Frank O'Hara celebrating the exhilarating spirit of New York City, which Siah Armajani designed into the railings along the water. In the distance is the Goldman Sachs Tower in Jersey City, NJ.
WTC Design Competition - Studio Daniel Libeskind
Made by wallyg
The winner of the World Trade Center design competition, Memory Foundations, by Studio Daniel Libeskind as the plan for the World Trade Center site. The inspirational design by Studio Daniel Libeskind leaves portions of the slurry wall exposed as a symbol of the strength and endurance of American democracy, while reserving a majestic setting for the memorial, museum and cultural spaces in the area known as the bathtub. A 1,776 tall spire creates a powerful new skyline for Lower Manhattan, while the bustling activity down below reaffirms life in the aftermath of tragedy.
