    No, none will be built. It is now in the hands of the developers and the owners and the LMDC. So basically we can all look back at the banal first set of schemes and see another spec office building go up.
    Oh, nobody liked the wtc when it was built, and no one liked it before it was destroyed.
    It was an icon, for sure, but as for architecture, it was never good. Not to mention it was poorly planned and caused congestion problems.
    At least all of the schemes (including the first 6) addressed those issues.
    I just pray that they have an open competition for the memorial portion of the design...that'd be a great opportunity and maybe we'd get something interesting.
