Bus Terminal tower designs revealed

Three architecture firms released designs for Vornado’s planned tower above the Port Authority Bus Terminal. Rogers Stirk Harbor and Partners, Richard Rogers’ London firm, which is designing Tower 3 at the World Trade Center, released a design that is made up of four boxes stacked atop each other and bound together by open truss work. Pelli Clark Pelli Architects of New Haven, Conn., released a design that features a basket-weave-like curtain wall. The sleekest of the three, by Manhattan’s Kohn Pederson Fox, features a bright, glass-clad tower.
