A progress report on architect Fumihiko Maki's World Trade Center Tower 4?aka, the one actually getting built: "The muddy floor of the east bathtub has become mostly concrete at the site of 4 World Trade Center...At the center of the site, the tower's sub-cores are taking shape, and installation of the first of three tower cranes in mid-February will make construction progress even more obvious -- and faster." N.B., the bit on the site's geology is fairly riveting ("When its ice began to melt, raging streams of water flowed in front of it"). [LowerManhattan.info]
