Titled World Without Walls, the sculpture would represent an earth devoid of boundaries— neither borders, oceans, nor continents. The caming between panes would suggest wires, the connectivity of the new virtual world, where in many ways a person on the other side of the planet is as near as your neighbor (abbreviated, the title is www).

Alternatively the globe could be externally-lit with lights mounted on the tops of the buildings. While perhaps not as spectacular as being lit from within, it might simplify maintenance and lower cost.

In either case, as with the skybridges the tripod legs and feet would be given enough float to allow for building sway, yet be secured sufficiently that if one or even two of the towers were destroyed, the sculpture and antenna would sag but not drop— helping to reduce the danger to those below.

Situated a third of a mile above street-level, the sphere would be visible for tens of miles in all directions. On land it would be sighted from locations where previously none of the New York skyline had been evident, and at sea it would be the first sign of America as land is approached— a steady beacon on the distant horizon.

If large and brightly-lit enough, the sphere might be visible at night and even clear late evening from the upper reaches of the Shawangunk Mountains, more than eighty miles distant, as well as from the International Space Station.
