HEY GUYS!!
Check this news! I wonder if it’s correct! And I hope it is! Because…

"BIG replaced Foster & Parters last year, although reports last month suggested developer Larry Silverstein could still switch back to the original architect.

SOM’s 1 and 7 WTC are already open, as is Fumihiko Maki’s 4 WTC.

KPF’s 5 WTC is on hold and there is no 6 WTC.

Santiago Calatrava’s transit hub opened earlier this year and the performing arts centre, on which REX replaced Frank Gehry, is scheduled for a 2019 opening."

Holy Towers, finally a news that say about the 5WTC and the Performing Arts Center at least!
What do you all think about it?

If the Sphere is relocated here (which is should be), the only place in Liberty Park that could support the weight of it is to the west of the Church, or the “plaza”.

31

The plaza is for weddings, but the church is not done yet, there could be a change. I’d like to see it there too

32

The circular plaza is specifically designed to support the structure. To my knowledge, there is no other place within Liberty Park that will be able to accomodate it.

That’s interesting, Otie.

Guess we all must wait for any news of the Sphere’s new spot.

Here’s some great news:

Thank you, Mr. Perelman!

That’s great news!
Finally a good news about the Performing Arts Center (PAC)!

Now, the renderings of its new design are still to be shown to the public, including us all. Can’t wait after this news, but I must.

This trailer shows the New WTC! I was surprised by that and I forgot many times to share this with you all here! :smiley:

Needless to say, the view of NYC skyline from the Statue of Liberty is completely innacurate, it was made before BIG’s 2 WTC proposal and the 1 WTC’s spire with its original cladding wasn’t built in reality.
And if you pause it, you can see a bit of 3 WTC’s base!

37

Great news about the PAC’s construction, thanks to Ronald O. Perelman!

Still, I wonder about that PAC’s design on this render. It is nice, but I can’t be 100% certain if that’s the one to be built.
Any ideas everyone?

If it is the design, I like it better than that crazy Gehry design.

The same people (REX Architecture) who re-imagined 5 Manhattan West Have replaced Gehry.

My preference would have been Calatrava again or I think Bjarke could have been actually pretty good for this but then again…this development doesn’t have the big funding to tab those architects.

Anyways, looking forward to see more details & hope this thing starts soon.

I like their work.
