new WTC design
winning design
I love the part that says, "The top floors will be filled with life-affirming indoor gardens." Okay, nobody will want to work in the top floors - too dangerous. So what do we put up there?" "Gardens! Okay, but how will we sell that idea?" "We'll call them 'life-affirming!"
"Libeskind says that having calculated the arc of the sun, a wedge of natural light would funnel visitors to the memorial site, and that every September 11 between 8:46 a.m., when the first tower was struck by a plane, and 10:28 a.m., when the second tower collapsed, no shadows will be cast by his buildings." I like that idea. (Poorly written paragraph, though.)
