Key Snohetta Architects' Project:
Freedom Tower - Site of World Trade Center
Ground Zero, Lower Manhattan
2004-
Daniel Libeskind Architects + David Childs of SOM Architects
Controversial towers to replace the New
York World Trade Centre skyscrapers lost in 2001. The main Freedom
Tower skyscraper by Libeskind was to be a significant number of feet
high - 1,776 feet - to mark a key American date in history - United States
Year of Independence; the building was largely handed over to architect
David Childs. Designed to be the tallest tower in the world for the site
leaseholder - real estate developer Larry Silverstein. The angular design
is typical for Libeskind but here echoes the Statue of Liberty. A Snohetta
building was also due to appear but the situation is in a state of flux,
more online soon - 2006.
Another New York building by Daniel
Libeskind is his condominium tower in Union City, New Jersey.
Gehry Partners LLP and Snøhetta
