There seems to be general satisfaction with the choice of finalists for the World Trade Center site. “The process of deciding what will replace the destroyed World Trade Center has produced a unique cultural moment. In previous years, when there has been a major cultural issue playing itself out in public, people largely rallied to make clear what they didn’t want. The debate about the World Trade Center site has turned all that on its head. Not surprisingly, there is an unprecedented level of public engagement with and emotional investment in this project. And that involvement has driven the project forward but led it to embrace the most ‘cutting edge’ designs – Mr. Libeskind’s and THINK’s.”
