...Pataki muscled Silverstein out of the initial planning, organizing a worldwide architecture competition, eventually won by Daniel Libeskind, who designed a complex, including a museum, a memorial, a performing-arts center, a transportation hub and five office towers, with what is now known as the Freedom Tower as the tallest.

...struggle for control over the Freedom Tower, which would reclaim the title of tallest building in New York City, has compounded the delays at ground zero.

There are photovoltaic shingles on the roof, exterior walls coated with heat-reflective paint and a high-tech system that automatically dims or raises the lights depending on whether it's sunny or overcast.
