ABSTRACT
THE “COMPETITION” FOR THE DESIGN OF GROUND ZERO HAS NOW ARRIVED AT TWO FINALISTS, DANIEL LIEBESKIND AND THE “THINK” GROUP, SURVIVORS OF A GROUP OF SEVEN HASTILY ASSEMBLED BY THE LMDC TO COVER ITS BELEAGUERED BACKSIDE AFTER AN EMBARRASSINGLY LIMP FIRST EFFORT TO PROVIDE “CHOICES” FOR THE RECONSTRUCTION OF THE SITE. Universally derided for its imaginative poverty and its failure to suggest any use save the restoration of massive commercial activity, the lmdc quickly moved to camouflage its own tiny vision with glossy form.
