…A time to break down,

and a time to build up.
The agency responsible for rebuilding the World Trade Center site announced six proposals on Tuesday, all featuring substantial memorials and office buildings. This other site shows 35 artists visions for WTC site, and you can even vote for the one you’d prefer. Honestly, I’d like better a beautiful garden like the one Adam Purple proposes, but hey, I don’t live in Manhattan…

  1. Is it me? I’ve observed all those artists’s views carefully, and found them pretty horribles…Some of them i don’t understand!
    Actually, I couldn’t vote for anyone.

  2. Are they joking with those ideas? The closest to serious ideas are the one with the large plaza and the block buildings, ironically it reminds me of the Kaaba in Mecca (cross that one off!). I like the building that looks like a tuning fork. But I must admit the garden idea is my favorite. Maybe with a permanent installation of the Towers of Light. Won’t happen of course. This country is run by MBA’s. Do you know, someone seriously suggested building a mosque there?

  3. …no, really..??!
    Yeah, the Towers of Light are interesting. But, i agree, it won’t happen…
    Maybe these ideas are just artists’s ravings, not intended to be “built”?
    I don’t get it…

  4. I want a garden.
    I want a garden
    where the flowers have no flowers.
    I want a garden
    where the trees have no leaves.
    I want a garden
    where the weeds don’t even grow.
    I want a garden.
    I want MY garden.
    I want a garden
    where there are no colors.
    I want to water that garden with my tears.
