2 Ground Zero design teams picked

Choices narrowed to Studio Daniel Libeskind and THINK

By Jan Herman

NEW YORK, Feb. 4 — As competing factions jockeyed to decide a Ground Zero template for the future, officials Tuesday narrowed their choice of urban-design proposals to two — one by Studio Daniel Libeskind and one by the THINK team. Libeskin’s design proposes a 1,776-foot tower and would make visible “the great slurry walls” that descend into the bedrock foundations of Ground Zero. THINK envisions a tower even higher, a lattice-work scaffolding that would soar 2,100 feet. Both towers would be the world’s tallest structure.

OK...the Committee has narrowed the WTC designs from 8 to 2...One American firm, one German firm. The German firm should not be chosen. To do so, imo, would be an insult to the victims, their families and all Americans. The WTC attack itself was planned in Germany by the Hamburg Al Queda cell, and Germany itself is now a rogue state, hostile to the United States, ally of Iraq, and part of the Axis of Weasel.

Call, fax, email, take to the streets! The WTC plan must be an AMERICAN plan!

Do drawings exist of either design? There are none at the excerpt link.

In reality neither design should win. They should go right back to the drawing board - the lot of them.

These designs are deflated, depressing, and just terrible.

Is this the best they could do? One is a ripoff of Krypton, the other a ripoff of the Eiffel Tower.

When Andrew Wiles proved Fermat's Last Theorem, an English mathematician expressed his pride that Wiles was a fellow Britain working in America. His American colleague replied, "I'm proud, too. He's a Brit, working in America."

Both designs are lame, but your logic is utterly stupid.

One problem: the World Cultural Center design, sucks, bigtime. It's maudlin, wasteful, and dysfunctional.

Start over.

Thanks! They both look like crap, so I don't have a dog in this hunt.

[Hemingway's Ghost]

Agreed. Both really, really suck, though Libeskind sucks less.

LOL - Okay! Lousy designs though!
