Ground Zero designs finalized

2 Teams of Architects to Compete for Ground Zero Design. One sees the foundations of democracy in the concrete walls surrounding Ground Zero and another that sees New York’s rebirth in soaring towers of culture. By Edward Wyatt. [New York Times: NYT HomePage]

Both are designed to become the world’s tallest buildings, once complete, and that almost seems like painting a bull’s-eye on Lower Manhattan.
