One of the last big pieces of the World Trade Center master-plan puzzle is falling into place. Or rather, thousands of pieces, covering one big one. IanVolner reports
This week, the Perelman began to get its skin. A rendering of it. Art: REX, Design Architect; Rendering: Luxigon Almost exactly two decades after 9/11, and 15 years since reconstruction at ground zero got under way, one of the last big pieces of the WTC master-plan puzzle is falling into place. Or rather, a lot of pieces are falling into place, all covering one big piece: 4,896 marble panels are being fitted to the exterior of the Ronald O.
A lot has changed in the six years since Ramus & Co. first took on the commission, including the building’s program , the neighborhood surrounding it , and even the architect himself, who has since dropped the hyphenated, vaguely Pharaonic surname he went by back when he first emerged from Rem Koolhaas’s office in the late aughts. About the only thing that hasn’t changed, according to Ramus, is the building’s façade.

Viewed in section, the stone is revealed to be sandwiched between layers of glass that are stuck to it using a perfectly transparent, gluelike resin.
