“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.
The first World Trade Center model that I made in 2019 was also my very first LEGO 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.
