  • Coordinated Determination of National Register Eligibility—World Trade Center Site New York City, New York, February 6, 2004
    COORDINATED DETERMINATION OF NATIONAL REGISTER ELIGIBILITY—WORLD TRADE CENTER SITE NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK, FEBRUARY 6, 2004 I. INTRODUCTION This document has been prepared pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act in association with proposed reconstruction and redevelopment in the area of the approximately 16-acre World Trade Center superblock (WTC Site), bounded generally by Vesey Street on the north, Liberty Street on the south, Route 9A/West Street on the west and Liberty Street on the east. The Federal Transit Administration (FTA), Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), and Lower Manhattan Development Corporation (LMDC), as a recipient of funds from U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), are coordinating the Section 106 processes for several proposed undertakings on or adjacent to the WTC Site: Permanent World Trade Center PATH Terminal (FTA with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey [Port Authority]), World Trade Center Memorial and Redevelopment Plan (LMDC with HUD funding), and Route 9A Reconstruction (FHWA with New York State Department of Transportation [NYSDOT]). Section 106 requires federal agencies to identify historic properties (e.g. buildings, structures, sites, objects and districts listed in or eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places) that may be affected by a proposed undertaking. This document focuses on the WTC Site, the approximately 16- acre super block bounded by Liberty, Church, and Vesey Streets and Route 9A/West Street. Each of these undertakings is subject to environmental review under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and to review under Section 106. Environmental impact statements are being prepared for each of these independent undertakings.

  • The World Trade Center, Then the World's Tallest Building, Was Built in Lower Manhattan in the Early 1970'S (Figure K – Su
    Bedrock Control of a Boulder-Filled Valley Under the World Trade Center Site Cheryl J. Moss, Mueser Rutledge Consulting Engineers, 14 Penn Plaza, New York, NY 10122 ([email protected]), and, Charles Merguerian, Geology Department, 114 Hofstra University, Hempstead, NY 11549 ([email protected]; [email protected]) INTRODUCTION Then the world’s tallest buildings, the former World Trade Center Twin Towers were built in lower Manhattan in the early 1970’s. A new construction technology at the time, a slurry wall socketed into the bedrock was built to enable the Twin Towers construction. A geotechnical investigation undertaken for the project suggested that the site geology would be fairly typical for New York City. During construction of the slurry wall, however, an unexpected feature was discovered. In the southeast corner of the site the wall cut through a ledge of schistose bedrock and entered a curved, roughly E-W-trending valley filled with well- rounded glacial boulders and cobbles (Figure 1). The slurry wall had to be excavated deeper in two places to get through the boulders and socket back into solid bedrock. The trend of the valley is unusual because other known glacial valleys across Manhattan trend NW-SE including a nearby valley we reported on earlier (Moss and Merguerian 2006). When it was time to plan reconstruction of the new World Trade Center development, it was clear that extra attention would have to be focused on the southeast quadrant. The unusual geologic conditions present could pose significant difficulties for new design and construction. A more extensive boring program was undertaken by Mueser Rutledge Consulting Engineers, geotechnical engineers for the WTC Memorial and Towers 1, 2, 3 and 4.

  • The Politics of Planning the World's Most Visible Urban Redevelopment Project
    The Politics of Planning the World's Most Visible Urban Redevelopment Project Lynne B. Sagalyn THREE YEARS after the terrorist attack of September 11,2001, plans for four key elements in rebuilding the World Trade Center (WC) site had been adopted: restoring the historic streetscape, creating a new public transportation gate- way, building an iconic skyscraper, and fashioning the 9/11 memorial. Despite this progress, however, what ultimately emerges from this heavily argued deci- sionmakmg process will depend on numerous design decisions, financial calls, and technical executions of conceptual plans-or indeed, the rebuilding plan may be redefined without regard to plans adopted through 2004. These imple- mentation decisions will determine whether new cultural attractions revitalize lower Manhattan and whether costly new transportation investments link it more directly with Long Island's commuters. These decisions will determine whether planned open spaces come about, and market forces will determine how many office towers rise on the site. In other words, a vision has been stated, but it will take at least a decade to weave its fabric. It has been a formidable challenge for a city known for its intense and frac- tious development politics to get this far. This chapter reviews the emotionally charged planning for the redevelopment of the WTC site between September 2001 and the end of 2004. Though we do not yet know how these plans will be reahzed, we can nonetheless examine how the initial plans emerged-or were extracted-from competing ambitions, contentious turf battles, intense architectural fights, and seemingly unresolvable design conflicts.

  • World Trade Center “Bathtub” Describes the Recovery Efforts
    The engineer who oversaw the construction of the World Trade Center “bathtub” describes the recovery efforts. World Trade Center “Bathtub”: From Genesis to Armageddon George J. Tamaro My first experience with “slurry wall” construction1 was in Italy in 1964 when I was on a work/study assignment for the New York Port Authority. The Chief Engineer of the Port Authority at the time asked that I inspect and report to him on the use of the new technology. In 1967 the Port Authority assigned me to oversee the original construction of the World Trade Center (WTC) slurry walls. From that assignment I moved on to a nine-year career George J. Tamaro is a member of as a contractor constructing slurry walls and a 21-year career as a consulting the NAE and senior partner, Mueser engineer designing slurry walls around the globe. Back in 1964, I had no idea Rutledge Consulting Engineers. that my brief assignment in Rome would have a significant effect on my career and interests. This report describes the initial work on the WTC “bathtub” in the late 1960s and the recent work during the recovery. Genesis The WTC complex consisted of seven buildings on a 16-acre site in low- er Manhattan. The deep basement (bathtub) portion of the site covers a four- city block (980 foot) by two-city block (520 foot) area some 200 feet from the east shore of the Hudson River (Figure 1). The deep basement occupies only about 70 percent of the 16-acre WTC site and is just west of the place 1 Commonly referred to as diaphragm wall construction in Europe.

    UNIVERSITY OF CINCINNATI DATE: May 15, 2003 I, James Gilbert Jenkins , hereby submit this as part of the requirements for the degree of: Master of Architecture in: The Department of Architecture of the College of DAAP It is entitled: New World Trade Approved by: Michael McInturf Arati Kanekar NEW WORLD TRADE A thesis submitted to the Division of Research and Advanced Studies of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARCHITECTURE In the Department of Architecture Of the College of Design, Art, Architecture, and Planing 2003 by James G. Jenkins B.S., University of Cincinnati, 2001 Committee Chair : Michael Mcinturf Abstract In these Modern Times, “facts” and “proofs” seem necessary for achieving any credibility in a field where there is a client. To arrive at a “truth,” many architects quickly turn to a dictionary for the final “truth” of a word, such as “privacy” or to a road map to find the “truth” in site conditions, or to a census count for the “truth” of people migration. It is, of coarse, part of the Modern Crisis that many feel the need to go with the way of technology, for fear that Architecture might otherwise fall by the wayside because of its perceived irrelevancy or frivolousness. Following this action, with time, could very well reduce Architecture to a form of methodology and inevitably end with the replacement or removal of the profession from its importance- as creators of a “Truth.” The following thesis is a serious reclamation. The body of work moves to take back for Architecture its power, and specifically it holds up and praises the most important thing we have, but in modern times have been giving away: Life.

  • Chapter 5. Historic Resources 5.1 Introduction
    CHAPTER 5. HISTORIC RESOURCES 5.1 INTRODUCTION 5.1.1 CONTEXT Lower Manhattan is home to many of New York City’s most important historic resources and some of its finest architecture. It is the oldest and one of the most culturally rich sections of the city. Thus numerous buildings, street fixtures and other structures have been identified as historically significant. Officially recognized resources include National Historic Landmarks, other individual properties and historic districts listed on the State and National Registers of Historic Places, properties eligible for such listing, New York City Landmarks and Historic Districts, and properties pending such designation. National Historic Landmarks (NHL) are nationally significant historic places designated by the Secretary of the Interior because they possess exceptional value or quality in illustrating or interpreting the heritage of the United States. All NHLs are included on the National Register, which is the nation’s official list of historic properties worthy of preservation. Historic resources include both standing structures and archaeological resources. Historically, Lower Manhattan’s skyline was developed with the most technologically advanced buildings of the time. As skyscraper technology allowed taller buildings to be built, many pioneering buildings were erected in Lower Manhattan, several of which were intended to be— and were—the tallest building in the world, such as the Woolworth Building. These modern skyscrapers were often constructed alongside older low buildings. By the mid 20th-century, the Lower Manhattan skyline was a mix of historic and modern, low and hi-rise structures, demonstrating the evolution of building technology, as well as New York City’s changing and growing streetscapes.

  • From Missionary Resort to Memorial Farm: Commemoration and Capitalism at the Birthplace of Joseph Smith, 1905–1925
    Keith A. Erekson: Joseph Smith Memorial Farm 1905–1925 69 From Missionary Resort to Memorial Farm: Commemoration and Capitalism at the Birthplace of Joseph Smith, 1905–1925 Keith A. Erekson For The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the twentieth century was a century of commemoration. Opening with statues of Brigham Young and Joseph Smith in Salt Lake City and closing with temples in Palmyra and Nauvoo, these ten decades witnessed a flurry of activity at historic sites, from monuments and celebrations to pageants and re-enactments. During the first half of the century, LDS historic sites developed individually and displayed a wide variety of functions. A suc- cessful exhibit at the 1964 New York World’s Fair prompted Church leaders to integrate proselytizing efforts into the sites, and during the 1960s and 1970s, the tourist-drawing work of the (non-institutional but member-owned) Nauvoo Restoration Inc. demonstrated the practicality and appeal of authentic site reconstruction. The past quarter century has been marked by both proselytizing and authenticity: Church President Spencer W. Kimball addressed a general conference audience via satellite from a newly constructed Peter Whitmer Farm home in 1980, global cel- ebrations commemorated the 1997 sesquicentennial of the pioneer entry in the Salt Lake Valley, and the Church’s internet site presently adver- tises dozens of historic sites.1 The current ubiquity of historic sites belies the fact that the LDS Church has not always maintained them. When the Church purchased the birthplace of Joseph Smith a century ago, it owned only two other historic sites, and when President Joseph F.

  • Project Purpose and Need
    Chapter 1: Project Purpose and Need A. INTRODUCTION The New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT), in cooperation with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), proposes to reconstruct a portion of Route 9A between Chambers and West Thames Streets in Lower Manhattan. This area is being considered for reconstruction as a result of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, that destroyed the World Trade Center (WTC) and severely damaged or destroyed additional nearby structures and transportation infrastructure including portions of Route 9A. The proposed project, which is being reviewed under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) as a supplement to the 1994 Route 9A Reconstruction Project Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS), is one of several federally funded Lower Manhattan recovery projects proposed in response to the devastation of September 11, 2001. As a transportation cornerstone in this recovery effort, the project is intended to provide a safe and efficient transportation facility that meets the goals and objectives established for Route 9A, prior to and since September 11, 2001. B. PROJECT IDENTIFICATION / LOCATION Located near the Hudson River between Battery Place and 59th Street in Manhattan (see Figure 1-1), Route 9A (also known as West Street) is a six- to eight-lane principal urban arterial with a continuous bikeway and walkway. Route 9A, which is part of the National Highway System, is a multi-modal facility used by cars, trucks, buses, bicycles, and pedestrians. As discussed above, the proposed project would affect only a portion of Route 9A. This section lies at the southern end of New York State Route 9A, which begins at Battery Place and extends northward for approximately 47.5 miles, until it merges with U.S.
