3 World Trade Center
With a structure that is exposed and visible, the Rogers Stirk
Harbour + Partners design
for 3 World Trade will stand out at the center of the World Trade center site. The
defining aspect of 3WTC is its load-sharing system of diamond-shaped bracing,
which helps to articulate the building's east-west configuration. This allows
unimpeded 360-degree panoramic views of New
York.
The three-story high lobby will provde visitors a "big
picture window" of the memorial outside.
Upper level floors will straddle those beneath in a ‘podium building
formation, lending the tower a distinct interlocking nature and facilitating
the high occupancy of the office floors.
Finally, the redeveloped Cortlandt and Dey Streets that
interface with 175 Greenwich Street will improve the accessibility both of the
retail space in the building and of the WTC Transportation Hub to the north of Dey Street.
