2 World Trade Center, Skyscraper under construction in Financial District, Manhattan, US
This 403-meter-tall glass and steel structure features 82 floors above ground with a T-shaped design and stepped terraces near its summit.
The construction began in 2008 to replace the South Tower of the original World Trade Center complex destroyed during the September 11 attacks.
The building incorporates deconstructivist architecture principles through its geometric forms, creating a visual connection between the street level and the city skyline.
Upon completion, the tower will contain office spaces with direct access to multiple subway lines and connect to the underground retail concourse.
The structure includes 30 elevators and four basement levels, with horizontal louvers between floor plates that create distinct patterns on the glass exterior.
