PNA International Forum celebrates natural stone
What's the future of authentic natural stone? Find out at the PNA International Forum, an unmissable event set in the magical atmosphere of Venice on June 12th and 13th, 2025. Registration is now open, don't miss out!
The designs propose two different visions, but one thing unites them: if built, they would be the world’s highest towers. And in both cases the top floors would not be used as office space but would be occupied by a garden (in Libeskind’s version) or by a memorial (according to Think Design’s proposal).
The objective for the coming weeks is to re-examine the two proposals and, without jeopardising their initial idea, to adapt them to the practical necessities of the building constructors who will be putting up the building in the next 10-12 years. The winner will be announced by the end of the month, but as of Friday the competition projects will be on view at the World Financial Center Garden.
