The Freedom Tower will have a major impact on the New York skyline while minimizing its impact on the environment. Designers say the world's tallest building will include a wind farm, solar panels and advanced, energy-efficient technology, and will become an icon of environmentally friendly architecture.

The 1,776-foot-high skyscraper, which was designed by architectural firms Skidmore, Owings & Merrill and Studio Daniel Libeskind, will be constructed on the site of the World Trade Center, and is scheduled to be completed in 2009.

indeed. quite a remarkable structure. anyone who's interested in the rebuilding of WTC can check out this book:

A New World Trade Center: Design Proposals from Leading Architects Worldwide by Max Protetch

the designs proposed therein were quite unique and mind-boggling at times. worth checking out.

Hope they put a F*ck you Bin Laden poster on the side as well...

that's a pretty fucked up comment

not really, i just bet that's what'll happen.

i wonder if they will design this one with anti-terror technology.... like everyone above the 100th floor has to wear a parachute to work, and everyone below has to learn how to slide down a firemans pole.

ahaha, sliding 100 stories down on a firemans pole will fucking rip the skin from your hands!

well we'll see what happens i guess

I can assure you that the US government has a few surprises in store for the Freedom Tower as far as defense is concerned.

Just watch. When that building opens, there are going to be more than a few "special features" unveiled.

Nell is right, it will become the juiciest target in the entire world for terrorism. Yeah, it's a cool idea, but they better have some really cool tricks up their sleeves to protect it.

i can assure you all, it has anti-terroism shields armed with laser beams. instant death upon touch/exposure.

Great, a new skyscraper, but is anyone going to be willing to go to work there?

Cool, nonetheless.
