News Corp. and 21st Century Fox, the separate media giants controlled by Rupert Murdoch, have taken a big step toward possibly moving to the World Trade Center, reports the New York Post.
The two companies on Tuesday signed a non-binding but detailed letter of intent (LOI) with developer Larry Silverstein to anchor 2 World Trade Center, the media firms confirmed. The 80-plus-story skyscraper would complete a quartet of new jumbos built to replace the Twin Towers’ office space destroyed on 9/11.
The parties have tapped cutting-edge Danish architect Bjarke Ingels to design the tower, which would have the address of 200 Greenwich St. and rise immediately north of the nearly finished WTC Transportation Hub. The building would have to accommodate highly specific needs for studios, newsrooms and open floor plans — as well as some 100,000 square feet of shopping space to be controlled by WTC retail operator Westfield.
The architect’s Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) also designed the Durst Organization’s dramatic, pyramidal apartment and retail project on West 57th Street between 11th and 12th avenues.
Bjarke Ingels’ 2 WTC design would replace an earlier one for the site by British architect Norman Foster, which was intended mainly for financial firms. But Ingels’ tower would still fit in with site planner Daniel Libeskind’s original location and height rules.
A new report from the Wall Street Journal suggests that BIG may replace Foster + Partners to realize the World Trade Center 2 (WTC2) tower – the final tower planned to be built on Ground Zero. The 79-story tower, designed in 2006, was stalled due to the economic crash of 2008.
“The final tower planned at the World Trade Center redevelopment could be dramatically altered under a proposal being discussed by 21st Century Fox Inc. and News Corp, which are considering a move to the site, according to people familiar with the talks.
The media companies and developer Larry Silverstein have brought in avant-garde Danish architect Bjarke Ingels to redesign 2 World Trade Center in the event of a move. Mr. Ingels, co-designer of Google Inc.’s planned new headquarters expansion in Silicon Valley, would replace renowned British architect Norman Foster as lead designer for 2 World Trade Center, these people said.”
SOM completed 1 World Trade Center in late 2014 and 3 World Trade Center by Richard Rogers is on track to complete in 2017.
Two World Trade Center is also known by its street address, 200 Greenwich Street. This new Manhattan skyscraper is a new office building on hold and is part of the World Trade Center reconstruction in New York City.
When completed, the WTC Tower 2 will be located on the east side of Greenwich Street, across the street from the original location of the Twin Towers that were destroyed during the September 11, 2001 attacks.
The 79-story WTC Tower 2 building was designed by Foster and Partners. The building will have a height of 1,270 feet (387 m), with an antenna that creates a total height of 1,350 feet (411 m). In comparison, the Empire State Building’s roof at the 102nd floor is 1,250 feet (381 m) tall, and its antenna is 1,472 ft (448 m).
The legendary trees tropical Asia, where huge trees giving shade, with long aerial roots hanging down. In tropical rain forests protect the leaves from drying in hot sun, the wax layer. Young plants have to rely on meager light that penetrates to the ground. Therefore, the plants need less room in light. All kinds of small leafed ficus fits very well for shaping bonsai, because it creates a strong strain rapidly gently branching branches and evergreen leaves. Leaf size makes it ideal for medium and large bonsai. They are very resistant to hot dry air, and therefore are the best plants for bonsai room. LOCATION: growth of new small leaf ficus need, as well as other plants, plenty of light. Among the plants that are used for bonsai room, just fíkusům least light. They can therefore be far from the window. In the winter, requiring temperatures above 15 ° C and with proper watering well tolerated and dry and warm air. They like roots dry and warm, cold drafts resent them for prolonged ventilation and leaks in windows windowsill, which can anneal winter dish and soil. Watering: profusely after drying soil soft water. At high dose of lime react ficus chlorosis. Water in podmisce not be longer than 1 hour. As the stimulation of growth has dressing 40oC hot water (water temperature for swimming in the bathtub). The frequency of watering and yield is dependent, among other things. And on the type of ficus. FERTILISING: year-round after two weeks with liquid fertilizer. Transplanting: spring every second year, while making the cut root LAND: Substrate for bonsai AGRO CS, nutritious soil air or soil, peat and sand in the ratio 1: 2: 2nd CUTTING: If u want ficus keep the size of the crown, cut it 3 sheets deeper than the final outline of the crown. To make this intervention was not visible, we cut more often and fewer branches. Unless we want to lose sprouting, leave behind the last leaf a bit branch. Leakage of milk juice will avoid misting with cool water. In the winter, we remove the large leaves. Oversized crown in summer we can adjust radical zakrácením with defoliation. SHAPING: Wired whenever we can, but only for three months. The wire must timely removed because the branches and trunk rapidly growing.
