Libeskind Takes His Tower West

It doesn’t look like Daniel Libeskind’s tower for the World Trade Center site will get built. So he’s traveled the plans across the country to California. “The architect’s plans for a 37-story condo tower named “Aura” in Sacramento, California, bear a remarkable resemblance to his original design for the second-tallest building at the ground-zero site. The 430-foot tower, to rise later this year, has the same geometric design at its pinnacle, with a sharply sloping downward angle on one corner. With the exception of its balconies, the tower is strikingly familiar.”
