	Design Build Network - Freedom Tower, New York
		The glass-clad tower's asymmetrical form is a structural allusion to the nearby Statue of Liberty, particularly the offset spire rising 84ft above the tower, which mirrors the statue's raised Torch of Freedom.
		Freedom Tower's role is similar to that of the old WTC, with 2.6 million square feet of office space.
		Freedom Tower's glazing is to be coated in low-e materials, which maximise the transmission of visible light and block infrared rays, which contribute to heat gain in the summer and energy loss during the colder months.

		The Freedom Tower is intended to be taller than Chicago's Sears Tower and become the tallest building in the United States, and among the tallest buildings in the world when completed.
		Depending on the angle from which the building is viewed, Freedom Tower is designed to appear as either a cuboid shape like both of the previous towers, or as a massive obelisk design.
		Emaar, the builders of the Burj Dubai tower, are keeping the final height of their building a secret, but speculation is that it will surpass all existing structures at a height of over 2,600 feet (800 m) when it is finished in 2008, three to four years before Freedom Tower.

	Freedom Tower, Part Two (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The Freedom Tower design has generated some controversy due to the limited number of floors (a maximum of 70) that is slated to house office space and other amenities.
		Other Freedom Tower opponents see the latticework and antenna on top of the tower to be a mask of the reality that the tower's inhabited stories will be fewer in number to the Twin Towers', and that the Freedom Tower would therefore in reality and for practical purposes be shorter than its predecessors.
		These critics see replacing two towers with a single, shorter tower as an inappropriate humbling or chastening contrary to the proud nature of New York and the United States, and even as a symbolic retreat in the face of terrorism, contrary to the defiant posture they prefer.

		The compromise Freedom Tower unveiled in December 2003 was the result of a sometimes contentious collaboration between architects Daniel Libeskind and David Childs.
		The tower that Daniel Libeskind designed for his winning master plan was a 1,776-foot glass spire attached to a 70-story office building with a sloped roof.
		Childs and Nordenson developed a design, which was incorporated into the compromise Freedom Tower, in which the tower tapers and twists around a concrete core, both providing stability to the building and allowing for unimpeded column-free interior spaces within.

	Gothamist: Viñoly Spanks Freedom Tower
		Viñoly characterized Freedom Tower--designed by Childs and SOM--as economically inefficient and aesthetically mediocre, especially in relation to the adjacent, arguably superior office towers now being designed by Norman Foster, Richard Rogers and Fumihiko Maki (towers 2, 3, and 4 on the WTC site).
		Viñoly reasons that the Freedom Tower's 2.6M square feet of office space could be redistributed among other towers, and observes that its chief architectural features are its cheesy name and its height as measured in feet, which is the same number used to describe how many years passed between Jesus's birth and the American Revolution.
		Finally, Viñoly compared the "comedy of errors" of designing and redesigning the Freedom Tower to the US invasion of Iraq, in the sense that the situation may be too flawed to fix.

		The sky lobby in the Freedom Tower was necessitated by the June, 2005 design revision which decreased the building's footprint and restricted the amount of space available for elevator shafts.
		The new Freedom Tower lacks vision; it lacks unprecedented ingenuity and ominous construction “impossibilities”; it lacks the manifestation of architectural genius.
		The original towers were an eyesore when built, and sentiment aside, were never truly embraced by the people of New York as a symbol of their great city.

	Changes to Freedom Tower are beyond expectations
		But the design for the Freedom Tower was subject to political manipulation, general comment by a host of special interests, and a master plan that survived by applying a thin layer of sugarcoated marketing across the site.
		The original tower was rigidly angled form with a crystalline-looking summit, punctuated with a sharp spire that accounted for most of the height.
		Even the name “Freedom Tower” is an arbitrary association to a principle that is in no way reflected in the architecture of the building.
