This 632-metre-tall skyscraper, designed by the highly regarded international company Gensler, redefines urban life. It is the second-tallest structure in the world and was completed in 2015. Both functionally and aesthetically, its unusual twisting design reduces wind loads and provides breathtaking panoramic views.
One World Trade Centre, which dominates the Manhattan skyline, is a symbol of resiliency and rebirth. This 541-metre-tall masterpiece was created in 2014 by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill architect David Childs.
