We Are Now Taking A Break From Katrina, Exploring New Freedom Tower Design
I am sick from the almost inescapable coverage of Katrina. This is probably the most devastating natural disaster we have witnessed in our lifetimes, any of us. I don't think any of us know how to respond. I just started this blog thing, but if it can be utilized in any way to help just say the word.
I haven't heard much lately about the new design for Freedom Tower on the WTC site. The latest design, which was announced June 29, 2005, is pictured below:
I actually like it better than the initial Libeskind design, and the subsequent Childs design. This one actually seems to work in its environment, and communicate strength and hope, perhaps not as much as the great Art Deco buildings but it will do.
