[LEGO] One World Trade Center | New York

A year after its (re)modeling in LEGO on the 3D Stud.io software by BrickLink, it was time to reproduce it in real life !

Here is my faithful replica of the new One World Tarde Center in New York, made up of more than 28,000 LEGO bricks, assembled in more than 60 hours, and illuminated at night with LEDs !

 

A little bit of history first, One World Trade Center nicknamed “Freedom Tower” and its 541 meters high (1,776 feet, corresponding to the year of the United States Declaration of Independence) is the tallest tower in New York, in the United States and the Western Hemisphere. 🇺🇸

It’s also the most expensive tower in the world, costing nearly $3.9 billion, and is the most technologically advanced and environmentally sustainable skyscraper. 🌟

 

But now, in LEGO ???

 

This centerpiece is part of my project consisting of almost faithfully reproducing the new Ground 0 - World Trade Center district in LEGO.

It went through several versions before arriving at this final version which is more geometric, more voluminous and better worked.

Admire these inclined facades !

 

I won’t be able to describe every detail here since there are a lot, but the main points are :

- More than 28,000 parts.

- The building measures 2.25 m (7.4 ft) with a scale of 1:245 ! 📏

- It includes the almost faithfully reproduced One World Observatory platform as well as all the floors of the tower.

- It’s lit at night with LEDs for the floors, as well as addressable RGB LEDs for the lobby and antenna that can change color individually.💡

 

I wanted to thank BlueBrixx for providing me with alternative LEGO Trans-Clear plates for the lobby as well as rigid hoses for the metal rings on the roof.
