Rogers, Maki to design towers at Ground Zero

摘要

Just days after beginning construction at the World Trade Center Freedom Tower, developer Larry Silverstein announced on May 3 that architects Richard Rogers and Fumihiko Maki will each design high-rise office towers at the World Trade Center site. The architects will join a list of architectural stars working at the complex (see site plan, right). They include Daniel Libeskind, FAIA, SOM's David Childs, FAIA, Santiago Calatrava, FAIA, Frank Gehry, FAIA, Snohetta, Michael Arad, Peter Walker, and Norman Foster. Many have wondered how all their designs will interact, since Libeskind's commercial design guidelines for the site have not yet been officially released.
