caption_attribution_description: English: Kenneth "Ken" Gardner's proposed World Trade Center design, which would have restored the New York City skyline to its former state before the September 11 attacks on the original World Trade Center. The proposed Gardner twin towers would have 115 floors—5 floors taller than the originals. The towers would be situated next to the original footprints of the towers, the memorial being called to use the surviving exterior panels of the collapsed towers.
context_page_description: The Twin Towers II was a proposed twin-towered skyscraper complex which would have been located at the World Trade Center site in Manhattan, New York City. The proposed complex would have replaced the former Twin Towers of the World Trade Center destroyed in the September 11 attacks, restoring the skyline of the city to its former state. The main design for the proposed complex would feature new landmark twin towers, nearly identical to the originals designed by Minoru Yamasaki, though it would feature 115 stories—5 floors taller than the originals, among other differences. Beside the towers, an above-ground memorial would have occupied the footprints of the original towers. The new site would also have featured three 12-story buildings, replacing the original 3, 4 and 5 World Trade Center. The complex was designed and developed by American architect Herbert Belton and American engineer Kenneth Gardner, and sponsored by Donald Trump.
