Rebuilding Ground Zero is something that the victim’s families do not want to hear. We all need to remember that the people who were taken on September 11th had fa

As Darya Cowan, Project Coordinator fore Imagine New York, comments, “ It is obvious from the public response that the plans released by the LMDC in July, fell short of the public’s expectations for the future World Trade Center Site” (Cowan). The six proposals were professionally done, but it is not the right time to be competent. The plans were economically driven, boring, and uninspiring.

(Daniel) Since then, Libeskind has been designing famous buildings. As the Smithsonian magazine states, “ From his Jewish Museum in Berlin to his proposal for the World Trade Center Site, Daniel Libeskind designs buildings that reach out to history and humanity” (Daniel). The design scheme uses the existing slurry wall of the World Trade Center foundations as the starting point for the memorial. It will also include transportation hubs and cultural centers. (LMDC) The scheme makes the design special, since it incorporates some pieces of the original World Trade Center.
