Do you prefer the Twin Towers of the Original WTC or the Current One World Trade Center tower that stands?

Ok, so I'm making a 1:4 scale model of the World Trade Center Complex in Minecraft. I already built pretty much everything (in a creative test world at least, the real build could be on different terrain), but yesterday, I learned/was reminded that the lobbies of the Twin Towers didn't just have two levels, but that one level was accessed from the plaza and one from the surrounding streets around the complex, which I didn't do (I just had their bases be at plaza level, because that made sense in my mind).

But my problem is, I can't wrap my head around how both sides could be level with the surrounding streets, because I know from videos I've seen that the plaza, which afaik was flat, could be accessed from the streets as well, and yet somehow the two entrances are... a whole floor of difference in elevation? What is this MC Esher nonsense? 😖

Can someone explain how this worked, both to help clear up the paradox and so I know what kind of terrain to look for that would make this possible for my Minecraft model?

Hello- I am a part of a group attempting to faithfully recreate the WTC in Minecraft. We are attempting to find less common interior pictures from any of the Towers and especially areas that were not commonly open tonthe public, to help with our accuracy.

Thank you!
