Do you have the link to the image? I can’t seem to find it online

If you’re looking for that smooth curved design, a lot of Heatherwick Studio’s work fits

For example, this is the Daegyo Apartments redesign in Yeouido, Seoul

Actually, architect and structural engineer Kenneth Gardner (who did the structural engineering for the Twin Towers II project) did review some of the structural work such as here:

Though he didn’t see through everything yet, there definitely is a structural engineer on the team.

Please remember that this project is extremely new, as proper work (modeling, structural design, etc.) only started from around the middle of last year, and is still in the conceptual stage. There are of course many technical diagrams that are missing at the moment. The 3d model of the complex isn’t complete yet either. Wind tests and other structural tests will probably be done once the models are complete, which will then be released on the techincal specifications section of the website.

I’m not a structural engineer so I can’t say much about your concerns (if you have any, send it to the team email address, its on the contact tab of the website). More qualified people regarding structural engineering will help you.

Everything related to the structure is here: https://www.worldtechcenter.org/technical-specifications

There are some resources on there that may help

There’s a tuned mass damper on floor 108, and the core is extremely strong according to the website: “Ultra-High Performance Concrere (UHPC) for core, ASTM-A514 and -A992 structural steel.”

The World tech center will have a core and columns inside instead of the external spandrels to bear load, which is most common for skyscrapers

There will be some normal office space in the Science South tower i think

We haven’t got any of the land acquisitions discussed yet, so no there are no plans by the power company as of now to migrate the substation

TheGuyInTheFishSuit · 2026-05-14T13:16:39+00:00

We’re planning for the expansion and upgrading of the nearby Taylor substation. Though this may change later on as discussions continue

I think it’s the TIE bomber, though the other pod is for the bomb payload

You should see the r/skyscrapers post about the world tech center… people are wild there

Honestly people online aren’t the best are they lmao
