The final building at the World Trade Center will look like a ‘vertical village of city blocks,’ says architect
The new design for Two World Trade Center will be a lot of things, but it will not be a twin to One World Trade Center, which recently opened for business in lower Manhattan.
That is according to Bjark Ingels, the star architect who designed Two World Trade. He talked to Business Insider about restoring the Manhattan skyline to its former glory.
he design [of Two World Trade] looks like a vertical village of city blocks stacked on top of each other with gradual overhangs that, as each building block gets thinner, the overhang becomes longer,” said Ingels, who has worked on notable buildings like Google’s new 60-acre headquarters in Mountainview, California.
“The building will be home to a lot of companies with a lot of different needs, so it has to be a lot of different buildings coming together as one.”
Standing at 1,340 feet, the 3 million-square-foot building will also be the third-tallest building in Manhattan, behind One World Trade Center and luxury condo 432 Park Avenue.
