	Kunstler on World Trade Center Proposals
		The new round of World Trade Center reconstruction proposals are in and they are as ridiculous as the first bunch last summer.
		The dirtiest secret of all of these proposals is that they are little more than exercises in computer aided design, and what they demonstrate most strikingly are the diminishing returns of technology -- the more easily you warp, torque, and distort a building, the less civic value and meaning it has.
		With a huge self-regarding fanfare at the ceremonies, they declared their proposals to be "innovative and creative," but the only thing they innovate are new ways to disappoint our expectations about city life, and all they create are new problems for our neurology.

	Plots & Plans: World Trade Center Memorial Proposals (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		This is one of two proposals that give substantial recognition not only to the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in 1993 and 2001 but also to the two other terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 elsewhere in the United States.
		This proposal may appeal to environmentalists who love orchards and certainly a large patch of green is always welcome and in the harsher seasons when the trees are leafless the orchard would be a reminder of loss.
		The proposed building is thin and while the notion of shielding the memorial site from traffic noise is laudable it really points to a critical problem with all of the designs, namely, is West Street to be tunneled and turned into a park that unites the World Financial Center with the rest of Lower Manhattan.

	World Trade Center Memorial Competition - COMPETITOR FORUM
		The controversial memorial proposal that is rumored to have been named as the "ninth finalist" before being disqualified, and is the subject of litigation between Bernstein and LMDC.
		As the turning point it must memorialize the tragic and horrific ending to the lives of many noble individuals, and a way of life, and it must inspire the beginning of a new sense of the future and the role each individual soul plays in shaping our world.
		The world famous picture (reproduced replica of the US postage stamp is illustrated as an example) of the three NYFD raising a borrowed American Flag from the debris from the roof antenna will be a life size scale commissioned sculpture that will serve as the memorials flag pole.

	The World Trade Center Memorial,1993
		It was not a huge flowing thing of water, but from the center of the red disk, there was a small hole, from which water came out and flowed evenly over the sides of the disk and into a slot.
		When the cancer center at the University of South Florida had a competition for an outdoor sculpture next to their new building, I thought of the site as a sanctuary and a place for long-term hospital residents to come outside and sit.
		So, when I started thinking about the World Trade Center memorial competition, I went back to some of the books I had looked at and thought of these tumulus mounds and how from time immemorial, people captured the experience of passage, entombing people who were important in their culture.

	Millennial Renaissance Imagery - Rebuild the World Trade Center Memorial - Triple Towers Complex
		That same message should likewise be sent to the world in the design and magnitude of the re-constructed World Trade Center complex., The idea is simple, rebuild bigger and better than what was destroyed.
		I propose that the three towers of identical design be built on the site with the center area and interior space dedicated as memorial space.
		The world community, Americans, New Yorkers and the families of the victims need and deserve a identical replica as a permanent memory as to the ultimate sacrifice so many gave.
