A design by architect Daniel Libeskind was chosen for the WTC site. The design features a 1,776 foot spire that would reclaim the tallest building record, as well as 70 stories of offices, gardens, and a sunken memorial. The spire would house gardens all the way to the top instead of offices, because \”gardens are a constant affirmation of life\”. The guy who owns the lease on the site isn\’t satisfied with the plan, however. I dunno, it looks ok to me, though maybe it\’s not quite as instantly recognizable as the original towers.
