Zero zone

One World Trade Center 4.7 Initially, the building was called Freedom Tower, but later changed its name to consider it too emotional. The design and construction phase lasted a long time due to the high emotional and symbolic load of the place. A number of ideas and concepts were cut off before the current one. The One World Trade Center has 104 floors and a lookout called One World Observatory on the 100, 101 and 102 floors. From the ground to the glass balustrade the skyscraper is 417 meters, the height of the Twin Towers (Twin Towers). The architect David Childs was chosen in 2003 to design the highest building in the complex, the One World Trade Center. After the design was modified for security reasons, construction of the building began in 2006. In 2007, the foundation of the One World Trade Center began to be seen. In 2014 the construction was completed and in 2015 the observatory opened its doors to the public.
The National September 11 Memorial Museum 4.6 The National September 11 Memorial & Museum was created to pay tribute to the 2977 victims of the September 2001 attacks, and also to the 6 people killed in the 1993 attack. The idea of creating the Memorial arose immediately after the attacks, and the Memorial automatically became an essential visit in New York, as it testifies to one of the key events in its history.
National 9 / 11 Memorial The two sources that form the 9 / 11 Memorial monument are exactly in the place that the Twin Towers occupied at the time. They're like two footprints of the old World Trade Center in the Zero Zone of New York. In two areas with bronze plates the names of the victims are recorded. Observing these inscriptions - and visualizing the victims by name and surname - puts the goose meat. The official name of this memorial is "Reflecting Absence," which means something like "Being aware of the absence." The 9 / 11 Memorial is made up of the two sources and a public park.
The Oculus In the middle of the New York financial area, very close to the place where the Twin Towers once rose, a kind of large white bird of glass and steel with extended wings has been raised for a few years. This is Oculus, the project of the Spanish architect and engineer Santiago Calatrava to replace the transport exchanger that was destroyed in 2011 by the attacks of the Zero Zone. Oculus is an eye in Latin. Do you then represent this structure to a large ovoid-shaped eye adorned with long eyelashes? It could also be, although each one attributes a likeness according to his imagination: an eye, a bird, a bone skeleton, a great white insect. It tastes or doesn't like it, but the structure doesn't leave anyone indifferent. Oculus contrasts sharply with his environment. Its ovoid shape and light color stand out in a forest of quadrangular skyscrapers with blue or dark façade. Oculus is home to the World Trade Center Station, a large transport exchanger, which connects several lines near New Jersey to the New York Metro. It also serves as a shopping center, as inside it are two levels with numerous shops. On the other hand, the building is connected by an underground passage to the nearby Brookfield Place shopping centre, which in turn opens on a small marina on the banks of the Hudson River. .
Brookfield Place 4.6 Brookfield Place is a complex of several buildings in the south of Manhattan, in Battery Park City. It had to be renewed following the attacks of 9 September 2001. Today is a nice place to enjoy the panorama over the Hudson River and the New Jersey, and walk in the mall. The main room of the mall is impressive, the crystal is immense, serves as a greenhouse for 16 palm trees. .

The "Zero Zone" is the name that receives the place where the proud towers of the World Trade Center of New York were raised. After the attacks of 11 September 2001, the pile of rubble looked like the crater of a bomb. In 2013, several buildings such as the new One World Trade Center were opened. The term "zero zone" actually refers to the place, after a nuclear explosion, closer to detonation and which has therefore suffered the greatest damage. Following the terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001 in New York, the term was extended and is now also synonymous with the former World Trade Center site, which was shot down by two hijacked passenger aircraft. "Ground Zero" vividly describes the impression of the huge debris landscape in the place where the World Trade Center was located, as if a bomb had fallen.
