"Mr. Garvin was instrumental in the selection of Beyer Blinder Belle as the architecture firm that designed the first set of plans for the rebuilding of the trade center site. Then, when those designs met with near-universal rejection, from the public and from the architecture and design community, Mr. Garvin led the effort to attract world-renowned architects to a design competition for the site, one that resulted in the selection of Mr. Libeskind's winning design...Mr. Libeskind was upset over the resignation"
