From the Newsday article: "[7 WTC] collapsed seven hours after the Towers fell, after it erupted into flames after it was hit by ruble." Uh, that's "rubble."

Libeskind should avoid appearing in photographs with normal-sized human beings.

And who said a reality show about architects would be boring?

For the most part the old WTC was a travesty of architecture, so it's all fitting in with the 'theme'.

developer friendly themes doesn't always have to mean ugly though. i think childs and som have their panties in a bunch over nothing because they are cooperating. originally, i thought that it was much more sneaky, with torn black architect gear left behind as evidence.

The new WTC is going to be a travesty of architecture.

As pointed out in a NYT editorial today, L's plan was a master plan and not a building design. In fact the main reason L won was that he was one of the only to actually subscribe to the competition guidelines in making a master plan into which other peices could be fit at a later date providing the required flexibility and other developer friendly themes. That said, I wish Silverfish would hire a new architect and fire that most boring Childs.
