After the Second World War, the economy experience enormously. It expected a large increase in the world trade and the port of New York would benefit. Lawmakers came up with the idea to build an international or world trade centre. It thought that New York can better complete with other ports if all trading companies under one roof. In 1946 was decided to make this. The World Trade Corporation was established and a committee was composed. The World Trade Corporation had plans to draft for a global trade centre. Architect John Eberson and his son Drew proposed to build 21 buildings. This was not a commercial office space but space for companies to exhibit their goods. This project cost 150 million U.S. dollars. A market survey showed that the project was uneconomic. The plan was repealed in 1949.
DMLA architects came up with the idea to build of the World Trade Centre in East River. In 1958 they presented the plan to the public as ‘the billion dollar plan’. Through financial support and political power could be realized World Trade Centre. When everyone agrees and support, it could e built. It was built in Lower West side instead of East River now. It was cheaper and accessibility would be better. The governor said: “At least we can see the damn thing”. Unfortunately, landowners were in protest. There were located many electronic stores. The store owners did not want this unique area would be lost. The judges decided in favour of the World Trade Centre in the name of public interest.
They chose another architect: the Japanese American architect Minoru Yamasaki. He suggested that three or four non-identical square towers to build. Later she came up with the idea to build two identical square towers, each with eighty floors. The contractor did a nice plan, but the towers offered too little office space. The architect changes the office space. So there was not only an office but also were the two tallest towers in the world.
After overcoming a few technical problems, presented he a new plan. The towers will consist of 110 floors. But was not enough. There were two buildings in the complex are added, the North and South Plaza Building.
The World Trade Centre was designed for businesses that drove trade worldwide. therefore were build a complex for the U.S. customs. And a 22 floors hotel for many guests, the Vista Hotel.
