About This File

On January 22, 2004, Santiago Calatrava unveiled his design for the transportation hub to be built at the World Trade Center site. The hub will sit at the northeast corner of the site at Church and Vesey Streets and is expected to form an underground connection between the World Financial Center and the Metropolitan Transportation Authority's proposed Fulton Street Transit Center. Through it, pedestrians will have access to Hudson River ferry terminals, PATH trains, 14 subway lines, and, potentially, a direct rail link to JFK International Airport. By 2020, the Port Authority expects the hub to serve 250,000 commuters and visitors daily.

 

-Took it right out of an article found here: http://www.lowermanhattan.info/news/world_trade_center_transportation_63250.asp

 

update: some people wanted me to change the base so it is not slanted. since i did this i was also able to add the road that runs along the side of the base. in the updated picture you can see an ambulance on that road.

i can tell you. here is "real" pic of a better angle more like simcity http://www.calatrava.com/slides/world_trade_center_01.jpg Another reason is the "wings" did not bend properly.

and last is the transparency is blue. in the video the windows were very dark blue, but in the pictures it was clear, so I made the color inbetween the two.

A great example of modern architecture from a famous architect, I would check out his other buildings they are worth seeing. Great job on the model, hope to see more, perhaps a foster building? 10/10 keep it up!!
