A vision of the planned Memory Foundations
The Memory Foundations is the name given by Daniel Libeskind to his site plan selected by officials as what is to be built on the former World Trade Center site in New York City. The Memory Foundations plan includes the 1776 foot (541 m) Freedom Tower created by architects David Childs and Libeskind, four other skyscrapers, and other office and cultural buildings. The plan aims to fully replace the 10 million square feet (1 km²) of office space lost and revive New York City's economy and skyline. If schedules are met, the plan should be completed by the year 2015.
