On the 14th anniversary of 9\/11, people around the globe will be taking a moment to look back, remembering the victims and their loved ones. Just as the lives of many were changed forever that day, the architectural landscape of New York was also irrevocably altered. The task of repairing and rebuilding the heart of Manhattan began over a decade ago, and the World Trade Center site now looks radically different from how it did that fateful September morning.<\/p>\n

It was always going to be one of the most challenging design briefs in architectural history, so it is perhaps unsurprising that some of the biggest talents in the profession were tapped for this complex site. Over the last 14 years, Ground Zero has evolved through a series of interventions by many of the world\u2019s most well-known architects, each attempting to create buildings which are respectful of the past \u2014 but also symbolize the bright future of New York City.<\/p>\n

Here, we take a look at some of the key structures to have been completed and those that are on their way:<\/p>\n
