"The Sphere" මේ ගැන මොනවද හිතෙන්නේ?
“The Sphere” is 25 feet high and cast in 52 bronze segments. Koenig considered it his biggest child. It was put together in Bremen, Germany and shipped as a whole to Lower Manhattan.[1] It was meant to symbolize world peace through world trade, and was placed at the center of a ring of fountains and other decorative touches designed by trade center architect Minoru Yamasaki to mimic the Grand Mosque of Mecca, Masjid al-Haram, in which The Sphere stood at the place of the Kaaba.[2] It was set to rotate once every 24 hours, and its base became a popular lunch spot for workers in the trade center on days with good weather.
