They broadcast the event on WNYC (NYC public radio) this morning, I think it took place at Winter Garden. As the the different designers were describing the work they had new age music playing in the background. I guess that was at the event itself, I thought that was silly.

Someone said "how do they plan on changing all those LED lights when they burn out"? :)

Passages of Light or Suspended memory.

Why couldn't any of these people design the new WTC building?

Meh... i still vote for white marble towers 2x as tall as before. I don't think we're properly conveying our leetness here...

I'm iffy on this one acemcmac, it's be great to have bigger towers, but I don't think many people would feel safe in them.
