The World Trade Center was a large complex of seven buildings in
Lower Manhattan, New York City, United States. It featured landmark twin
towers, which opened on April 4, 1973, and were destroyed as a result of the
September 11 attacks.
At the time of their completion, the Twin Towers — the
original 1 World Trade Center, at 1,368 feet (417m); 2 World Trade
Center, at 1,362 feet (415.1m) — were the tallest buildings in the world.
ONE WORLD TRADE CENTER
Also known as 1 World Trade Center, 1 WTC or Freedom Tower.
Freedom Tower is the main building of the rebuilt WTC complex in
Lower Manhattan, NYC. It's the tallest building in the Western
Hemisphere, and the 6th-tallest inthe world. The supertall structure has the
same name as the North Tower of the original WTC, which was completely
destroyed in the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.
THE THREE WORLD'S TALLEST BUILDINGS
These models, all the same 1:500 scale, represent the three current tallest buildings in the world.
At the center is Burj Khalifa. At 828m/2717 ft., it is the tallest manmade structure in every refereed category, which includes highest roof level or occupied floor, highest integral architectural feature, and highest additional structure/ antenna.
The red model of Taipei 101 is a wind-tunnel model, created to test the structural design and performance of the tower before it is constructed. Taipei 101, the tallest building in Taiwan, rises 509m/1671 ft to the top of its slender ornamental spire.
The structural model of Shanghai World Financial Center was created by its designers at Leslie E. Robertson Associates to illustrate the skyscraper's structural system. Although the design of the tower ... was "drawn" and calculated by computers, the model was made to help clients and others visualize and understand the structural system of the frame, core, and outriggers. Shanghai World Financial Center measures 492 m/ 1614 ft to its tapered roof and highest observation deck. Of note: the circular opening in this early version of the tower was changed in the final design.
