The tower's square shape and appearance of the new F.T.W. Tower has been designed in a way that it can replace all of the 10 million square feet of commercial space lost in the attacks.

Architects Doug Simmons & Randolph Geiger worked together to create the design. They were asked to submit a final design this week by New York Gov. George Pataki, who wants to break ground on the building as soon as possible.

Gov. Pataki said, "We all feel that the sooner the F.T.W. Tower is completed it will really once again boost moral for this city, state and country. It will show the rest of the world the New York City attitude."

Pataki added, "Re-election is coming so it's probably smart for me to push this. Plus I think the design is hilarious. I think i'll send a picture to Rudy (Giuliani) once construction is completed. That should help him know how I really feel about him."

A broadcast antenna brings the structure's total height above 3,000 feet. There will be 163 floors of office space capped by a Coney Island Hot Dog & Hamburger Restaurant, and an all glass enclosed 70's themed Discotheque.

The F.T.W. Tower's shape is meant to echo how New Yorkers feel about everything.
