Architectural Catfight!
Rem Koolhaas to Daniel Libeskind: Oh, Snap!
“Instead of the two towers - the sublime - the city will live with five towers, wounded by a single scything movement of the architect, surrounding two black holes. New York will be marked by a massive representation of hurt that projects only the overbearing self-pity of the powerful. Instead of the confident beginning of the next chapter, it captures the stumped fundamentalism of the superpower. Call it closure.”
-from Rem Koolhaas’ great article in the new Wired, “I _ NY”
