The World Trade Center presented here is a bridge between the future and the past, instead of a radical break. The Twin Towers II plan was created to provide the continuity that fosters healing. By improving on the original design, it offers renewal and inspiration, instead of irrelevance. And the stirring memorial, which focuses attention up, rather than down, has the distinction of being preferred by many 9/11 families and the general public, at a fraction of what the current design is projected to cost. In fact, it outperforms the official plan across the board, making its adoption less radical than staying on the current course.

Using the blueprints of the original towers, the plan's creators re-engineered the Twin Towers to recapture what was grand about the originals, while diligently addressing their flaws. As a result, the design incorporates robust security, construction economy, and the greenest technology. The retail space is inviting, the commercial space is exceptional, and the outdoor spaces within the protected grade-level plazas are a pedestrian-friendly oasis and neighborhood delight.

Note: There is significant activity taking place and the plan itself is evolving. This website is really just pointing towards what is possible – it does not encompass what is possible. The images will be updated to display the exciting new facade with its emphasis on the verticality of the original towers as soon as possible.
