World Trade Center // One World Trade Center 🇺🇸 in New York, USA!!

The construction of the New World Trade Center in New York began after the 9/11 attacks and took 13 years to complete. It was built next to the original World Trade Center site and now houses multiple businesses. Tower One has 104 floors and is open to visitors, who can take a high-speed scenic elevator to the 100th floor observation deck for a panoramic view of New York City. The most impressive building in New York is the World Trade Center Transportation Hub, designed by the famous Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava. The basic design is inspired by a soaring bird and connects 11 subway lines and the New York-New Jersey railway, integrating functions such as transfer stations, shopping centers, and pedestrian walkways. The entire building structure looks like a white dove spreading its wings, symbolizing peace. The design, by Calatrava, is a transportation hub and shopping center located at the World Trade Center in New York. The building is characterized by its huge white steel and glass design, with steel ribs resembling the wings of a bird in flight. The Oculus is the main entrance to the World Trade Center Transportation Hub and serves as a hub for PATH trains, subways, and buses. The building consists of two main elements: the above-ground structure and the underground hall. The above-ground structure is the most prominent part of the building, consisting of a series of steel ribs that form a large skylight above the main hall. The arrangement of the ribs is reminiscent of birds in flight, which is a design element emphasized by Calatrava. The main hall located underground is where PATH trains arrive and depart. It also includes various retail spaces and connections to the World Trade Center site. .
