Introduction:

The Rebuilding of the World Trade Center site is the most important urban planning and architectural challenge of our time. It is about healing, repair and rebirth. We have a duty to commemorate the dead in the form of a solemn and respectful memorial. We have a duty to repair and regenerate the city fabric. Above all, we have a duty to symbolize the rebirth of New York on the skyline, to demonstrate to the world the resilience, the resolve, the strength and faith in the future of all those who are dedicated to liberty and freedom.
The footprints of the two destroyed towers provide sites for the international memorial competition. Monumental walls of steel and stone will create a sanctuary for private remembrance and reflection. From within these tranquil spaces only the sky will be visible-no buildings or trees. Surrounding the memorial sites will be a new World Square-a large green park.

The renewal of the World Trade Center site can be the catalyst for the regeneration of the whole of Lower Manhattan. We can repair and rebuild the neighborhood street pattern that was eradicated in the 1960s. Fulton Street and Greenwich Street will be extended and revived. We can reinvent Liberty Street as a vibrant street market. Instead of a barren plaza, there will be streets on a human scale lined with shops, restaurants, cinemas and bars to ensure that the area has a life around the clock.

We can also strengthen connections further afield by integrating New York's public transport system. Below ground, there will be a New Multi-Transportation Center, providing Lower Manhattan with the centralized transport facilities that exist in Midtown. This new gateway into Manhattan will be marked by a glorious glass canopy-a celebration of public transport.

The iconic skyline must be reassembled. We propose to celebrate New York's positive spirit with a unique twinned tower-the most secure, the greenest and the tallest in the world. This is a huge responsibility because human safety must be paramount. Immediately following September 11th Foster and Partners commissioned an expert multidisciplinary task force to conduct an in-depth study into safety in tall buildings. Their findings inform the design of this new structure.

The crystalline tower is based on triangular geometries-cross-cultural symbols of harmony, wisdom, purity, unity and strength. Its two halves kiss at three points, creating public observation platforms, exhibits, cafes and other amenities. These links also have a safety benefit, as escape routes from one tower to the other. They will break down the tower's scale into village-like clusters, each with its own atrium. These tree-filled spaces-parks in the sky-will purify the natural air that will ventilate the building. A state-of-the-art multi-layered facade will enable the towers to avoid energy-wasting air conditioning for up to 80% of the year. The building's raking corners offer the opportunity for funiculars to transport the public vertically up the building.

Our plans meet the needs for remembrance, reconciliation and renaissance. The memorial will be a lasting reminder of the value of human life. The new streetscape represents our belief in the highest quality of urban living and the new towers' socially and environmentally progressive agenda will symbolize New York's commitment to a better future.

以下是我尝试翻译的设计说明，个人水平有限，请包含。

    世贸中心遗址的重建是当今最重要的城市规划项目及对建筑设计的挑战。它涉及疗伤、修整和重生。我们有责任以一座严肃而示敬的纪念物纪念逝者。我们有责任重整城市的机理。最重要的是，我们有责任令纽约的天际线重生,并向世界展示那些献身于自由与民主的人们的坚韧、决心、力量和信念。
    在双塔的遗址处，纪念性的墙壁和石头将成为人们悼念的圣地。通过这肃静的空间只能看得见天空－没有树，没有建筑。遗址的周围将是新的世界广场－一座巨大的生态公园。
    世贸中心遗址的重建可能是下曼哈顿地区新生的催化剂。我们将再现自上世纪60年代消失的周边街道的形式。代之以冷清的广场将是人性化的街道－设有商店，餐厅，电影院和酒吧，确保随时随刻这里都将生机勃勃。
    我们将强化纽约的公共交通系统。地下将兴建新的联合运输中心,为下曼哈顿地区提供便利的集中运输。新的通道将覆盖以玻璃天篷。
    标志性的天际线必须重生。我们试图用造型独特的双塔宣扬纽约积极的精神－它们最安全,最生态，并且是最高的。安全必须第一位的,这是极大的职责。911事件之后福斯特立刻委任了一个包括各种学科专家在内的特别工作小组深入研究高层建筑的安全性能。新结构的设计来自于该调查的结果。
    水晶塔楼基于三角形造型－象征着和谐、智慧、纯净、团结和力量。它二二等分，三点吻合,创造了公众了望台，展览厅，咖啡店和其他小品。这种连接方式也有利于安全,逃生路线在两座塔楼中迂回穿梭。它将庞大的塔楼分解成一座座“村落”,每一个都有自己的中厅。中厅中的绿化令空气清新。在建筑倾斜的转角处提供竖向运输的可能。
    我们的设计面向着怀念、和解与复兴的需要。纪念馆将令人时刻铭记生命的价值。新的街道景观表示我们对高质量城市生活的信心。而对于其划时代的地位，从社会和环境上讲，新的双塔将象征着纽约对美好未来的承诺。
