WTC Re-design Needs Bold Strokes, Not Banality

"[T]hey all start with the idea of building a cluster of medium-sized skyscrapers that, as the Port Authority required, would replace all the office space that was destroyed -- eleven million square feet of it, as much as there is in downtown St. Louis. . . . That would be fine if lower Manhattan were Tyson's Corners, or the Houston Galleria, or one of those pseudo-cities that dot the American landscape. But it wasn't like those places before September 11th, and it is even less like them now."
