the chosen one
They’ve chosen the design of the WTC memorial.. Between the two designs that were being decided between…. you had the THINK team design.. which to me resembed scafolding with a giant airplane in the middle.. which seemed rather insensitive and innappropriate.. in viewing the slideshow, it in reality is this wave design between the two metal towers. Then you also have the design by Studio Daniel Libeskind.. the only interesting thing about this one.. is the vertical gardens. So far, I’ve heard it referred to as the Emerald City, crystal shards, and holy crap that’s too futuristic way to screw up the skyline. The slideshow, for the Libeskind design.. is a bit.. less informative that the THINK team.. but it does have one or two really clear pictures of the proposed look..
And well I guess, K said it best a few minutes ago, ” if I had to choose between one or the other I guess I’d choose the pointy sticks over the paint scaffolding”.
