Excellent analysis by John King of the WTC appears in today's Chronicle. He wrote that the (below) ground level pedestrian space was particularly brutal, but the ten-year design and construction timeframe should allow opportunity to fix shortcomings like this. When TT looked at the animation yesterday, which recalls dump trucks on the existing site with approximately 50' high slurry walls in the background during clean-up magically overlaid by gigantic new construction, he didn't recognize this problem, and only noticed a peculiar lifelessness of the stylized representation. Today, he looks and sees some amazing effort at realistic representation of people, though in an animation they should be moving, sophisticated coloring and texture of slurry walls recalling Anselm Kiefer and, of course, an array of exciting new, often colorful, often transparent geometric forms punctuating the plaza of death, and the new wailing walls are casting deep shadows around 9-11. It's frightening to think about.
