Is WTC Design Being Undermined?
Civic and planning groups charge that business interests are attempting to undermine Libeskind's design concepts.
"Officials of the group, the Civic Alliance to Rebuild Downtown New York, said Larry A. Silverstein, the developer who controls the office space at the site, and others were pressuring rebuilding officials to accept changes to the Libeskind plan.If carried out, those changes could take the soul out of Mr. Libeskind's plan and undermine the public process that created it."
