One World Trade Center surpassed the Empire State Building to become New York's tallest skyscraper this week, measuring 1,271 feet. Completion is scheduled for 2013. Using film from a panoramic camera scanned into a digital file, photographer Mario Tama takes a wider look at the building of the tower and the life surrounding the process.

Upon completion, this will be New York's tallest skyscraper, topping out at a symbolic 1,776 feet, with three million square feet of office space. Nearly 10 years after the crippling attacks on Lower Manhattan, business, tourism and new construction have rejuvenated the once-devastated cityscape.
