but jury still out on new Trade Center design plan
but jury still out on new Trade Center design plan
NEW YORK A dozen years after hijacked jets destroyed the twin towers,hogan outlet online, a new district is finally taking shape at the World Trade Center pointedly different from the sterile superblock it replaced, but far from assured of either real estate success or urban vitality.
Tourists flock to the park and square reflecting pools of the National Sept. 11 Memorial, now two years old. The steel ribs of Santiago Calatrava's soaring,air max 90, budget busting transit hub have poked above ground, with completion expected in 2015. A new underground concourse, also by Calatrava,air max 95, links the Trade Center with a nearby office complex. A subterranean museum, where visitors will see pieces of mangled steel from the twin towers, will open next spring. And the district's tallest tower, the almost finished 1 World Trade Center, now commands the lower Manhattan skyline. It, too, will open next year.
Next week, though, attention will be focused on the ceremonial opening of a shorter skyscraper, the $2 billion 4 World Trade Center,cheap tn shoes, the first office building to be completed within the borders of ground zero's ever contentious 16 acres. At 977 feet, it would be the tallest skyscraper in Boston, San Francisco, Seattle, Dallas or Philadelphia. But here it rises in the figurative shadow of 1 World Trade Center, which claims a height of 1,air maxes,776 feet. The design is fundamentally sound, even though it lacks the brio of Maki's best work, like the Spiral Building, a Tokyo mid rise that houses a variety of cultural activities and a delightful spiral ramp within its fragmented, collaged exterior.
Located at the southeast corner of the Trade Center site, across the rebuilt Greenwich Street from the memorial,cheap nike air max 90, the tower consists of a trapezoidal top set on a parallelogram shaped mid section and base. Its smooth glass skin conceals powerful bones notably, a steel frame that dispenses with evenly spaced perimeter columns for pairs of muscular columns framing 80 foot wide spans that open the interior to its surroundings. Two notched corners articulate the envelope with thin, vertical channels that run from sidewalk to summit. The effects are, by and large,air max 97, compelling.
Maki wisely accepted the broad outlines of Daniel Libeskind's ground zero master plan, which called for rebuilding streets that were eliminated to create the Trade Center's original 1960s superblock and forming a cluster of skyscrapers that would spiral upward to the new 1 World Trade Center. His tower is appropriately dignified as it faces the memorial to the west, but it promises to be equally well attuned to bustling,air max, storefront lined Church Street to its east. A still to be completed retail atrium and transit hall could prove a powerful magnet, integrating the tower's base with its surroundings.
With its stepped crown pointing directly toward 1 World Trade Center, as if in homage, Maki's design knits together the urban fabric on the skyline as well as the street.
Yet while Maki took Libeskind's cues on urban design, he went his own way on architecture, discarding the jagged,borse hogan, crystalline forms of Libeskind's 2003 master plan for the calmer language of abstract minimalism. Thicker than normal exterior glass and energy efficient coatings make the tower's walls elegantly flat and mirror like, not distorted, as office building glass typically is. From a distance, the skyscraper has appealing contrasts of light,outlet hogan italia, reflective surfaces and dark ones. Its smoothness is especially apparent on the fa facing the memorial. There, mechanical louvers and the noise they emit were eliminated out of respect for the nearly 3,000 people killed on 9/11.
Rather than shutting itself off from the memorial and its park,cheap air max, the tower's high ceilinged lobby effectively makes use of them as "borrowed scenery," in the words of Osamu Sassa,scarpe hogan prezzi, who served as Maki's project architect. The black granite walls that clad the elevator core beautifully reflect the trees. A semi circular titanium piece by Japanese artist Kozo Nishino floats gracefully above the lobby. Wood walls that shine with a reflective coating amplify the presence of LED screens at the back of the elevator lobbies that display time lapse images of water, sky and trees.相关的主题文章：

Further down the list are Fox's 'Rise of the Silver Surfer' and Sony's 'Ghost Rider' coming in at 17 and 25 respectively. Other comic based films like 'TMNT' and '30 Days of Night' were strong enough to take the 1 spot on the weekends they bowed, and landed lower positions on the year's top 100. |
