World Trade Center site update:
The RFQ closed only 10 days ago and the LMDC has chosen six design teams to develop masterplan concepts for lower Manhattan. Names of particular note on the list: former Cranbrook architecture chair, philosopher, musician, artist and registered architect Daniel Libeskind, and father of UK high-tech, creator of the Hong Kong Bank headquarters [one of my all time favorite buildings] Lord Norman Foster. Names I'm not quite as excited about seeing are third down on the list. There are a total of 27 firms represented, including several lesser known architects, which is very commendable. Look for results of this study by year's end and a final land use plan by spring of 2003.

Re: Denari - So Chad [to all our LA conspirators actually], what do you think of LA Eyeworks in the flesh?
