Liberty
Towers
- Vaughn N. Thorp Fernandina Beach, Florida
This illustrates how the Manhattan Skyline could be revitalized
while establishing a place of prominence for a tranquil Memorial
area.
Images of the original towers embrace a half-mile spire topped
by twin communication masts. Familiar neo-gothic arches are
traced against 100’ wide mirrored surfaces facing East and
West.
540’ above Church Street, overlooking a 3 acre Skypark, there
is room for a private area of solitude. This 700’ wide area,
bathed in morning sun, would include secluded courtyards on
either side of a 1.5 acre Memorial Hall.
24 million square feet of interesting places are offered
for others to shape and embellish in a variety of ways. Large
flat roofs afford the opportunity to create parks, courtyards,
and landscaped terraces while voluminous interior areas are
available for convention halls, auditoriums, theaters and
theme restaurants. Various architects would be free to fashion,
within this structure, a warm environment with distinctive
features.
