From the original site, the building is extruded to a height of 110 stories; the unnecessary office footage, the extra volume, is blown away. Now that there are holes in the building, now that there are tunnels through the building, the outside comes inside: you see through the building -- light streams through the building, like spotlights -- it rains and snows through the building. The interior of each cone is lined with walkways, ramps and stairways; these passages are parks (plantings, waterfalls, benches) and plazas and streets (food-stands, markets, performance areas). The holes/cones/tubes are the structure of the building. Public space, instead of being in front of or beside the building, runs through the building, intertwined with private space. </p> <p>This project view belongs to <a href="../../project/wtc/index.html">WTC</a>, and is threadged with:</p> <ul> <li><a href="../../thread/2002/index.html">2002</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Buildings/index.html">Buildings</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Dar%C3%ADo%20N%C3%BA%C3%B1ez/index.html">Darío Núñez</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Gia%20Wolff/index.html">Gia Wolff</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Lights/index.html">Lights</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Mix-Swarm-Multitude/index.html">Mix-Swarm-Multitude</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/New%20World%20Trade%20Center/index.html">New World Trade Center</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Parks%20and%20Gardens/index.html">Parks and Gardens</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Peter%20Dorsey/index.html">Peter Dorsey</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Playgrounds/index.html">Playgrounds</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Stephen%20Roe/index.html">Stephen Roe</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Streets%20and%20Plazas/index.html">Streets and Plazas</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Theoretical/index.html">Theoretical</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Tube-Tunnel-Funnel/index.html">Tube-Tunnel-Funnel</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Unbuilt/index.html">Unbuilt</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/United%20States/index.html">United States</a></li> </ul> <p>(<a href="../../img/121/WTC 2.jpg">I</a>, <a href="../../img/121/WTC 2.jpg.large.jpg">L</a>, <a href="../../img/121/WTC 2.jpg.thumb.jpg">T</a>, <a href="../../index.html">A</a>)</p>
