We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Freedom Tower",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Buildingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Case study: The New Rules of Building from
Gehry Technologies, which we summarised at the time by saying "Recording and retaining creative integrity through to build, while optimising design around multiple analysis criteria, since introduction of Gehry Technologies' Digital Project
software".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release 100k Architects and Designers pick Autodesk Revit from
Autodesk: "Autodesk Revit Building software sales surge as firms move to adopt industry-leading BIM Platform".
In April 2006, we covered the news from Chartered Institute of Building [CIOB]
concerning its Freedom Tower
- take a look at No resolution yet to enable Freedom Tower start
which says: "No way forward has been found for a resolution of the dispute that is holding up a start on construction of New York City's Freedom Tower on the site of the former World Trade Center".
Take a look also at the news release from Chartered Institute of Building [CIOB], Freedom Tower start delayed,
as well as Learning from the NIST report from Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE),
and NIST report - implications for building design from Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE).
