The tower has a cubic base, for the safety of car or truck bombs are designed. The base is covered in thirteen-meter high glass prisms thatwill break light in color. This base is the cubic more interesting to the naked eye. The concern for security is also taken in the vertical core, which will run through the center of the building. The nucleus contains many of the structure of the essential safety systems. There are three feet thick walls made of extra-strong concrete. The core also contains communications lines, exhaust and ventilation ducts, water pipes and stairs and lifts to enter orLeaving the building. Overall, the unique architectural design of the Freedom Tower will look at it as there are more twists and turns.

The more public spaces under the ground feature leaves fall, water, an overview of the locations of the Twin Towers. The entire area below the surface of the 9 / 11 Memorial is deliberately sparse and gray, evoke a feeling of sadness, but is open to the sky as a symbol of hope for the future.This is in contrast to the area above the ground.
