Apparently Snohetta won't have so much trouble with the size of the Freedom Center at Ground Zero after all. The project doesn't seem to have tenants anymore. The LMDC keeps raising the bar on them and the content of their exhibitions about "freedom." And the head of the LMDC doesn't seem to bother with asking his own board about additional vetting. NYT | Newsday | greg has some other insights.

This really is tremendously disappointing. I couldn't agree more with Justin Davidson's piece in Newsday. Its making me more nauseous every time I here the terms 'anti-American' and 'un-American'. And lets stop applying the term 'Freedom' as if it somehow makes these buildings symbols of freedom, as opposed to the symbols of ignorance and mediocrity they've become.

jeg elsker snøhetta (i love snøhetta) but i have to admit that i am surprised they would want to have anything to do the ground zero projects.
the whole thing is sad and reeks of mccarthyism
