but what about the big structure? it looks so...plunked in, and sort of sterile. At first, I thought I liked it.
Maybe too much hot steam coming out of them for plants?

I vaguely remember some wood or something organic in the original design. was it the shape that became more angular as well? I don't have time right now to look for the initial renderings of it, but I'm trying to figure out how I feel about this facade.
There will be a (double ?) row of trees on the west between the structures and West Street, plus more trees on the east and south -- maybe some in between the two structures.
My guess is that they will somewhat "disappear" within the context of the whole plaza space. A good vine planted around the perimeter would do a world of good.
There aren't too many images / renders of the Memorial that include the two structures, but this is one I found showing trees all around ...
This could double as a Hurricane Katrina memorial also!Originally Posted by lofter1
They started installing "panels" on the south side of the building, so I got some good shots.
The concrete is coated with (I guess) a sealer that darkens it. The screens are some sort of close weave fabric that hooks onto a frame. You can see that they haven't been pulled taut.
I can't believe that the heavy standoff frame was constructed just to hold these flimsy screens. I'm guessing there's more, but I don't see the look they're trying to achieve.

Let's hope they are well screened by trees
The "film" looks awful--like old black-out curtains or something.
But the museum exterior looks amazing!
325ccr Has really good pictures of the fountain, the best yet with the water flowing.
yeah, thanks for sharing, 325ccr!
I hope people don't do the coin throwing thing.
Yeah, great pics, 325ccr!!!
One question;
The facade on the Museum and the 2 smaller buildings looks nice. Why aren't they at least considering using the same facade for the base of 1 WTC?

Rendered view across the Memorial Plaza towards the new entry pavilion at the WFC,
with Fulton Street to the right (from Otie at SSC) ...
I could do without those white tornado columns.
