That's the US mission to the UN, you can find more about it here:

Really cool but is it just me or is it a sort of bizarre fusion of all the recent towers - 4,7 WTC, NYT, and Bloomberg?

Do you guys know if they have more things like this on the calendar?

Did I miss some revision regarding "two horizontal beams of light"? I was always under the impression that any light was going to be the vertical beam.

I was on the outbound Metra in Chicago yesterday where you see the John Hancock Center in profile and was shocked at the similarities to what 1WTC should appear like - the dimensions are not that far...

^Everything you need to know about the real New York in one shot - we have 1000' skyscrapers and wooden posts with electrical or communications or whatever wires hanging off them.

I love this building but I think that leaving the apex hollow and not a continuation of the rest is a horrible aesthetic mistake.

^That short is just fantastic! Thank you!

^Perfect! That's seriously so useful.

So the first big piece went into the empty space on the left and it looks like the remaining two are being prepped for the right side.

Does anyone know exactly which portion of the hub...

Another one so soon? They installed two yesterday so it looks like they are progressing quite nicely. You can almost imagine part of the structure from what's taking shape there now.

I don't know how many of you are following this but given that education is probably one of the most vital contributors to this city's health I am somewhat shocked at this appointment. At first...

Thank you Zippy, I'm really glad they gave this some thought and didn't decide to go the usual "eh, f-it we'll see what happens when it happens" route.

I'm completely puzzled by the question of what will happen with the roots of these trees once they get older, isn't half the plaza going to be popping up here and there?

There seems to have been a lot of activity on the cam, seems like two big diagonal connecting pieces have been installed and another of the big arches installed in the southern portion.

I can't...

I've had a similar experience and understand very well how perplexing it is.

In my case we were basically robbed of a few pieces of clothing by the super's daughter who used the spare key. The...

While I agree that the police presence is almost always only seen in Manhattan I was wondering what that is based on - simply a reassuring 'presence' that the NYPD wants to demonstrate or maybe there...

Thank you guys for the photos and expertise! It's really appreciated by all of us.

The card would simply be a biometric SS card. I really do understand why people 'worry' about it being a national ID card but the issue has devolved into what American politics always becomes - a...

Wouldn't it be awesome if you could have a one time crane whose structure was simply built into the skyscraper as it rose and when topped out the other portions could just be converted into roof...

Hahahahaa - the 'moving sidewalks' were to be THAT crowded in 18-whenever? How about that lady being helped by an "MTA" employee onto the sidewalk. Precious, what a world we could've lived in.

Seriously, I agree completely. I was joking the other day that when I relocated to a new office overlooking Ground Zero I'd be able to witness the restoration of something so dear to all of us - that...

While I love the idea of these parks and I'm glad this is all progressing I have to voice my critical opinion of these projects from the safety perspective.

Before the remaining portions of the...
