Absolutely Beautiful!
This is a national treasure and international icon!
Near these hollow grounds, build a community…
Taller, stronger, unified and more inspiring than the original WTC
Let the architects of tomorrow’s reach
Exceed their grasp
It would be fantastic if the original twin towers were rebuilt! This web site is right! IT’S NOT TOO LATE! Besides if those towers are rebuilt, new york would get back the image that americans all over the states love! New york isn’t the same without the TWIN TOWERS. REBUILD THEM, NOT THE FREEDOM TOWER!
I believe that using 9/11 as an excuse to “renovate” ground zero is disgraceful. rebuilding the twin towers is far more noble than creating something different. If we build the freedom tower. THE TERRORISTS HAVE CHANGED THE SKYLINE!
At first I was side with the Freedom Tower, Its a good tower but not for New York City. America desperately need the Twin Towers back. Taller, Safer, And Stronger for the heart of the american spirit. Im a young architect trying to build my very own Towers in Jacksonville FL, But also I would be glad to help and take my time to sign this petition for New York and Twin Towers.
I grew up in New York City for the first 14 years of my life, and I can always remember feeling a sense of completion with the Twin Towers being as part of my consciousness. With them now destroyed, there is only ONE answer, put them back! I happily join this cause, and truly hope to see the Twin Towers rise again. I’ve got my own 7’11” Twin Towers out of legos. I couldn’t help it, I missed them that much!
In the small country of Poland, it was the will of the people to rebuild Warsaw’s Royal Castle destroyed by WWII. Today it stands as a monument to people’s determination, when their culture and nationhood were threatened. A favorite observation regarding the castle’s reconstruction is that it is often considered to be a truthful copy, but “only” a copy of a historic building nonetheless. However, in two hundred years, that it is a copy will be insignificant, because it will be seen that Warsaw was only without its castle for about 35 years. Why not the same for the twin towers?
I firmly believe that the current design for the WTC site is deeply flawed in all respects: architectural, functional, aesthetic, and spiritual. The one silver lining of the devastating attack NYC suffered on September 11, 2001 was this: we were given the opportunity and the honor to build the 8th wonder of the world, something awe-inspiring, brilliant, and original.
Since demolishing the new One World Trade Center is inconceivable, I propose a compromise in building it a twin. We could then salvage the image of the original WTC without mimicking it exactly. It would even cost less to build a second Tower One in place of Towers 2, 3, and/or 4.
Ask yourselves? Do you want a generic office park? Or perhaps something more…
TTA Note: Demolishing the Freedom Tower is not inconceivable, just as a matter of fact — especially considering the affront to our system of government that it represents — but we are not suggesting that be done. It can be capped and would just become another skyline element — instead of rising to full height, where it would resemble the hundreds of obelisks that rise above the tombstones in cemeteries around New York. The Twin Freedom Tower idea has been persistently suggested, but there is no available space to put it where it would be a twinned structure.
I think rebuilding the world trade center is the best way to make america, america again. With its buildings, structures and towers the twin towers beat all of the towers in the world. The freedom tower is just stupid because why just freedom tower? We all need the freedom towers. All the people lost on 9/11 need something back and that is to rebuild the Twin Towers. New York is New York because of its towers, but it’s not New York now. Why? Because there’s a huge hole in it. It’s not New York with a hole in it.
With all due respect to the new complex of the World Trade Center, in the composition of its buildings there is not such a significant sharpness of the silhouette as it was in the original solution. Powerful character, individuality … this is of course either twins, or a stronger solution than the current one.
I am directing a bold, visionary infrastructure project to resurrect the Twin Towers with a new objective: the World Tech Center. It can be built in Chicago, or just east of Hudson Yards in NYC. Its purpose is to be a hub for international STEM, hosting labs, workshops, offices, a library, and a central plaza with underground shopping mall, and with many other amenities. The twin towers rise 450 metres and features UHPC concrete cores, and A514 high strength structural steel. I’m making it the tallest building in the western hemisphere, where the North Tower antenna rises 1969 feet high (600.15 m).

The twin towers should be rebuilt exactly the same. Freedom Tower is a horrid design; which is not New York or American.

Dear all,
