The World Trade Center Restoration Movement

Guide to Rebuilding Proposals

From people with their own ideas on what should be built. Many pro-rebuilders prefer the old design,or something very much like it.But not all.

Other proposals don't have websites but we will link to any we learn of that meet our basic criteria.

The following proposals have HAD websites that appear to have shut down, we mention them for the sake of completeness:

A circle of structures ranging up to 110 stories(1440 feet). Note that both this and Sieb's design use the name "Memorial Circle",and both this and Turner's design aspire to be the "seventh",compared to the six offical "Phase I" botches.

Three pointed towers the height of the old antenna.
