Three’s Company
by Lionel Bascom — September 13th, 2006 — 1 comment
The Freedom Tower will be getting some company when it goes up and defines the New York City skyline.
Three architects presented designs last Friday for three office buildings at Ground Zero that will surround the Freedom Tower to compliment the downtown landscape.
The designers presented three dimensional models of Towers 2, 3 and 4 that will go up along Church Street.
Designers Norman Foster, Fumihika Maki and British architect Richard Rogers said he and the other two skyscraper designers have tried “to create a symbol of this part of New York, this terrible happening.”
The Freedom Tower would be Ground Zero’s center piece but the other buildings would go up be nearer the permanent PATH rail station and near extensive shopping areas.

A lovely design model! These architects obviously had one intention in mind: that we should pay tribute to the world’s fallen citizens with the finest memorial ever experienced. In addition, it is good to see that there will be legitimate shopping areas nearby, rather than the dubious capitalistic ventures only a few blocks away.
