      I wish the cost of the project and the amount needed to ensure the care of the first responders was discussed by this panel.

      Great discussion. Thank you Charlie for turning these men loose. It was a pleasure to listen to such passionate, intelligent people speak to a subject they clearly know better than anyone. Only wish it could have kept going.

      I have a bit more of an intimate knowledge then the average person of the events surrounding the rebuilding at the WTC site and the memorial.

      On the one hand I find it offensive to listen to these self indulgent narcissistsc glad handing each other after presiding over a truly outrageous and corrupt process. The pious nonsense spouted by this self indulgent group is really quite disgusting given the outrageous behind the scenes political exploitation, cheating, and financial wheeling and dealings that took place involving both the building and memorial design and construction. In their hearts each of them knows the truth that in terms of the process that took place and their involvement the memory of the tragic deaths of 911 and all the men and woman who have died since in the name of 911 is forever disgraced by their actions. Besides that the notion that 1 billion dollars was spent to build a memorial is unconscionable. Shame on them. The fact that while our men and woman were sent to war in the aftermath while President GW Bush and a Republican congress told the nation to go shop and gave tax cuts to the richest people I find despicable.

      At this point however, it is what it is. That the design could have been so much better for both the buildings and the memorial is history. My sympathy goes out to those who were by chance in the wrong place at the wrong time. To the hundreds of emergency responders who lost their lives running into burning buildings while others were running out you have my deepest admiration and respect. To the countless men and woman who worked in the aftermath for the cleanup – many of whom now suffer from health conditions and early death, and for them many men and woman of our armed forces who went and sacrificed in harms way to bring justice you too have my deepest admiration and respect.

      UNITED WE STAND!

      This is what we should really remember 10 years later! America at its very best.

      All the way to Utah but hey it has a poignancy that Sunday missed.

      That's a Beautiful Building and Memorial they're building there, especially with all the Trees.

      I watched a PBS program on it; the fancy custom glass at the bottom third of the building will not work, unfortunately; maybe some tweaking and still can use glass, if it HAS to be glass for some kind of effect the architect is looking for. I think regular glass would work if they mix it with some high end stonework. Maybe mold stone out of glass (glass stone) mixed with meticuously fitted real fieldstone, the effect could be dramatic; and we all love drama, right.?. Especially Mr. Mant :)

      To sum this up would perhaps be to conclude this was a process less of construction, than deconstruction. It seems, further, that the events of 2008 aided rather than hindered this process. Hopefully by NOT building a gigantic monument calling attention to itself they have better served both city and nation. But eliminating the pedestals and plinths that characterized postwar architecture and returning things to a more human scale has been a desideratum for some time now thanks to people like the late Jane Jacobs. Of course, one could argue that cities are inhuman period, but that seems to be a matter for nature to decide. BTW, I hope these new structures are all earthquake-proof.
