“The World Trade Center is a living symbol of man’s belief in humanity, his need for individual dignity, his beliefs in cooperation of men, and, through cooperation, his ability to find greatness”
– Minoru Yamasaki

43.600 windows, 110 floors, 200.000 people a day.

These are just some of the impressive numbers of the World Trade Center complex, a beautiful icon of the New York skyline and a symbol of the 20th century.
Inaugurated in 1973, the original WTC complex incuded six buildings: three low-rise buildings (WTC 4, WTC 5, WTC 6), a 22-floor hotel (WTC 3), and the iconic Twin Towers (WTC 1, the “North Tower”, and WTC 2, the “South Tower”) with an impressive height of 417 m, 530 m including the North Tower’s antenna.
A seventh building, the WTC 7, a 47-story building, was added later in 1987; this building is not included on this model as it was not part of the original complex, but you will find it as a stand-alone MOC soon on my page.

The first World Trade Center model that I made in 2019 was also my very first brick MOC, so I did the whole project just by drawing diagrams on squared paper because I didn’t know how to use the design programs; the result was a little rough but still nice. Today, three years later, I reworked and improved that model, developing a completely new and more detailed model of this beautiful lost wonder;
this is my modest tribute to an architectural masterpiece.

* some details in the pictures may differ since the model has been updated; the products linked at the top of the page correspond to the most up-to-date version of the model
