An Update on our Documentary and Press Kit

At the end of August we published the First Edition of our contextual report, America's Twin Towers: History, Legacy, and the Case for Renewal. It is the most complete account of the World Technology Center to date. It sets out the project's vision, its principles, its economic case, and the phased strategy by which it would be built. It has since been available to read in full (and freely) on our website and academic repositories such as ResearchGate. We are now expanding our documentary and press kit to match it.

The documentary

Our documentary script was originally first written in June 2026, several months before the report was complete. Since then, the report has developed the project's argument in ways the film should carry too. Haru Morioka, our Deputy Designer and the production's narrator, is now recording new chapters drawn directly from the report (and new information from others in the team) so the finished film tells the full story.

Seeing inside the campus

We are upgrading our rendering capabilities and extending our models inside the buildings. That includes the advanced laboratories and cleanrooms, the educational spaces, the American Library of STEM, the atrium and mall, and the other facilities that make the campus work. We are also producing a new set of architectural graphics that include axonometric views and section views that cut away the floors to show how laboratories, classrooms and public spaces fit together.

Early engineering analysis

Our founder and engineering specialists are completing the project's first preliminary computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations that include wind dynamics. These studies begin a longer program of analysis that will inform the design as it matures.

When to expect it

We originally planned to release the documentary and press kit in September. Once the report was published, however, we chose to expand both rather than release them as first drafted. That means new chapters, interior renders, architectural graphics and our first engineering analysis.

Both are now planned for release in Q4 2026. A September release would have given you a film written before the report existed. We would rather give you one built on it.

In the meantime

We will be posting short insight videos on our YouTube platform. The next one after our showcase (from September 6) explains a word at the center of our name: technology. In mainstream, the word has narrowed to describe consumer electronics (e.g. smartphones), AI, and the internet. The objective definition - which we work from the beginning - is fundamentally broader: the application of scientific knowledge to the practical aims of human life. It covers medicine, energy, transportation, materials, agriculture and communication. That definition is what shapes our mission.
