Combustible Boy sent me this link to a diagram of the New York skyscrapers and where the new Freedom Tower will fit into the pantheon.
I just had to link it, because it-- and the whole damn site-- is just so very cool. These dynamic diagrams are the bees' knees, they are.
Also there's this forum discussion on WTC redevelopment plans. I'm gonna be keeping my eye on this site. Looks like the place to be.
(And for what it's worth, I'm warming to that tower. It's even got some symmetry to it. Only 70 floors, though? ...Oh, wait, I see. The topmost 400 feet or so isn't habitable-- it's just a truss. So this won't even have the highest observation deck in NYC; that's kind of a bummer.)
UPDATE: Whoah. Check out these older proposal diagrams of the Freedom Tower. It could have been way worse.
