The official website of the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation presents slide shows and details about the seven new design concepts developed by promiment designers and architects.
The Lower Manhattan Development Corporation today released nine new innovative designs for the World Trade Center site created by seven teams of some the world's most renowned firms, architects and artists. The new plans reflect the public's call for such elements as a respectful memorial setting, a bold new skyline and an inspiring vision for the 16-acre site. With the release of the plans, LMDC is simultaneously launching "Plans in Progress", a comprehensive public outreach campaign that will use multiple avenues to engage the public in a discussion about the future of Lower Manhattan. Includes introductions to each concept, list of team members, slide shows showing artist's renderings, and photographs of models.
