| Engineering the Freedom Tower |
 Photo: 2005 Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, LLP
World Trade Center Tower 1 or "Freedom
Tower" is the centerpiece building of the new World
Trade Center complex currently under construction in the Lower
Manhattan section of New York City, the predecessors of which
were destroyed in the September 11, 2001 attacks.
On June 28, 2006 the final design for Freedom
Tower was unveiled. This included plans to clad its concrete
187-foot base in glass prisms (addressing criticisms that the
base looked like a "concrete bunker"), and to taper the
corners of the base outward as they rise. In terms of a
completion date, developer Larry Silverstein who held the
lease to the World Trade Center site on September 11, 2001,
stated "By 2012 we should have a completely rebuilt World
Trade Center more magnificent, more spectacular than it ever
was."
Hear from the structural engineering firm, WSP
Cantor Seinuk, and the MEP engineering firm, Jaros Baum &
Bolles, on how they are bringing this icon to life using
Autodesk Revit Structure and Autodesk Revit Systems. You’ll
see the model of the 1,776-foot tower take shape and learn how
the Autodesk Revit platform is allowing the engineering firms
to work simultaneously on the building model, improving design
coordination. Watch the Webcast
