An announcement from founder Raphael Chryslar "After a week of part modelling, assembly, and sorting out error messages related to mesh sizes and boundary conditions errors with composite parts, are the first FEA analysis results on individual parts of the World Tech Center Twin Towers' floor beams, vertical columns, and the UHPC concrete core section. These simulations took Chryslar several hours to compute (using university computers with limited specs). The vertical column

A message from Raphael Chryslar (the founder): Using CATIA V5 (a sophisticated industry CAD software), I've been designing the structural columns and beams for the World Tech Center's Twin Towers. These images show his current work in progress in preparation for the Finite Element Analysis for structural performance determination. The vertical columns (my most challenging component to design) consist of 6cm thick steel plates welded into an oblong box shape, with a central 'I

A message from Raphael Chryslar - the project leader "In the last seven days, myself and my team (including my girlfriend) have produced these incredible preliminary elevations showcasing the surrounding buildings in their architectural beauty. Along with the two-block Hotel, Radio Music venue, Auditoriam Entrance, Bus terminal, and the Apple store, in a few weeks the SketchUp models will be produced, and subsequently a new fully-assembled render will be revealed. In the mean

In the past week, new external and structural elevations (general type) have been produced, which feature the surrounding buildings and...

An update from Raphael Chryslar (project leader) New progrees has been achieved in the design of the arrangement of I-beams that form the floors. The setup of an FEA analysis would commence soon. Meanwhile, the core's aethetical appearance in the lobby is being designed, which will feature elegent blue and white marble with granite accents, inspired by the original World Trade Center. A central illuminated light strip add a 'heavenly' enrance to the internal corridors.

A message from project founder Raphael Chryslar "In the days since finishing the website up-to-date, the next tasks over the next two weeks are to produce the 3D model of the internal UHPC core in Sketchup (from my drawing from two months ago). This involves reading civil engineering manuals on slip-form core construction and steel embedding techniques, so that the floor beams can join both the core and perimeter columns. I will then publish new drawings of typical floorplans

A message from Raphael Chryslar "Dear visitors, I'm pleased to announce that after lots of long hours of dedication surrounding my day job, the website is finally up-to-date with essential content filled in. All that remains is the gradual addition of more signaures from the Twin Towers alliance printouts (hundreds of pages), and new renders yet to come. I thank you for your patience." First new renders of the exterior design.

Dear visitors: we are still currently adding content to this new website and thus will take some time to fully add everything. As it is...
