This chapter provides an overview of the projects and programs under- taken by LMDC. First, an at-a-glance matrix of LMDC projects is provided. It lists all of LMDC’s initiatives according to the thematic principle to which it primarily relates (see side bar). The implementing agencies or organizations are indicated in the matrix (i.e. LMDC, major rebuilding partners, and other agency/organization). The matrix also indicates whether the initiative is currently completed, ongoing, or planned. Finally, recognizing that these initiatives impact a variety of areas, the matrix indicates the range of thematic principles that are addressed by each initiative. The matrix is followed by descriptions of all projects and programs referenced in Chapter 2 of the report listed in the matrix.

  • 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.

The Holocaust Museum along with the Anne Frank Haus spoke to me; the stories behind the lives of these beautiful people subjected to nothing but hate for who they loved and who they were. The educational component to the Holocaust Museum in D.C. spoke volumes to me. To follow the journey of a Holocaust victim... For Pulse, I see a blend of all of this. To learn the stories of why so many sought refuge and enjoyment there. Why did so many leave their "families"? Because they could not be who they were.

Cover rendering and photos courtesy of Ennead Architects Cover rendering and photo this page: The new Bridge for Laboratory Sciences building at Vassar College, designed by Richard Olcott/Ennead Architects, redefines the identity of the sciences on the College’s historic campus and provides technologically advanced facilities for students, faculty, and researchers. Fundamental to the building’s design is its seamless integration with the natural landscape, scale, and campus aesthetic of the College. In this natural wooded setting, the need for strategies to reduce bird collisions with the building was apparent. In response, the building was designed to comply with LEED Pilot Credit 55: Bird Collision Deterrence. Ennead managing partner Guy Maxwell is a nationally recognized champion of bird-friendly design and has led Ennead’s innovative approach to make the building’s glazing safer for birds, employing patterned glass, screens and sunshades, and Ornilux glass, a specialty glass product that uses a UV coating visible to birds but not humans. By framing and showcasing views of the landscape, the building celebrates and connects students with the surrounding environment, while the overall development of the precinct repurposes an Exterior glass detail Glass detail, showing frit pattern underutilized sector of campus.

The LMDC is a joint State-City corporation governed by a 16-member Board of Directors, half appointed by the Governor of New York and half by the Mayor of New York. LMDC is charged with ensuring Lower Manhattan recovers from the attacks and emerges even better than it was before. The centerpiece of LMDC¿s efforts is the creation of a permanent memorial honoring those lost, while affirming the democratic values that came under attack on September 11. The United States Department of Housing and Urban Development appropriated $2 billion to fund the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation¿s initiatives. Recovery Needs: The World Trade Center attacks resulted in a staggering loss of life and extensive physical destruction to Lower Manhattan. Approximately 30 million square feet of commercial space was damaged or eliminated, and seven buildings in the World Trade Center site were completely leveled.
