Fun 7WTC fact: Tower 7 was technically a "tenant addition" legally no different than if a leaseholder wanted to add a partitioning wall or rewire a a cubicle. It was a steel tube design, not dissimilar from the Twin Towers in concept. The columns, unlike the towers, were extremely irregular, with widely varying spans. The entire office portion of over 40 floors was built over a preexisting ConEd substation, requiring a complex system of transfer columns and floors (not depicted below) to spread the load to foundations sunk into the ground.

Excellent job STR. Words cannot express how much I miss that place. Thank you for doing this and keeping these buildings visually remebered for what they were.

Breathtaking work. You are an architect?

Shit...That is AWESOME!!!
What program did you model all this in?
If you're interested, an accurate WTC model such as this might do really well exported into 3D programs such as Poser and DAZ studio- Sites such as ww.contentparadise.com and renderosity.com are extremely popular places to sell one's handiwork. Goddess knows I would love to have my own accurate WTC for my poser characters to run around in.

This model is based on the above plans.

This was also the ultimate design and rendering in early '62 just before the officials had decided to go with it after looking at over 100 desgn design plans.

No one had thought about putting the antenna atop the North Tower back then.

now this is really awesome!
the buildings look like photos with a really good camera...
are you going to model the world trade center too?
that would be realy cool because i didn't find any good models of the new wtc yet.

he already made the New one. There are photos scattered around here,but there's a thread on wired New York or sumthin.

STR · #**155** Posted **Apr 25, 2008, 4:58 PM**

^Yeah, WiredNY doesn't pare down threads as often as SSP and SSC does. The NWTC vanished from here a while ago. None of the photos are lost, mind you, I ponied up a few bucks years ago for a permanent imageshack account. They're still better than flickr.

really really really nice^^ thx for reposting them!

These renderings are amazing... Absolutely beautiful job.

(A little off-topc: Does anyone know why there is no thread dedicated to the original buildings of the World Trade Center under any of the other categories? Just curious. o.O)

STR, if you haven't already got a job in the "digital land" industry, you need to. You are an increadible talent my man!

Nice to see you're posting these again. Are you still planning on building the WFC?
