More Revisions in Plans for New York:
The nearly completed design for the signature tower at the World Trade Center site would recapture the title of world's tallest building for New York City without forcing anyone to work higher than 70 stories in the sky.
Gov. George E. Pataki, who effectively controls the rebuilding process at ground zero, will unveil the plan next week. It will bear little resemblance to the asymmetrical and angular design by Daniel Libeskind that has been in the public eye for almost a year. Instead, it is largely the work of David M. Childs, the architect for the tower's developer, Larry A. Silverstein.

Wired 8.02: Making It Morph: "After thinking through various structures - some buoyant, some partially submerged - Diller Scofidio hit on fog, which was not only a local phenomenon but a dynamic one. To test the possibility, the architects rented a barge on Lake Neuchâtel and held a fog-off to test the nozzles of three companies. According to Scofidio, they chose the one that produced 'the densest, richest fog.' By last fall, they'd finished the structural engineering. The cloud building is an open-air system of glass-and-steel walkways enveloped in a thick haze created by 12,500 high-pressure jets. A built-in weather station controls the fog system: Measuring wind speed and direction, temperature, and humidity, it then sends the appropriate fog-demand signals to the 13 output zones."
