I stuck to master plan — NYT
The architect Daniel Libeskind reflects on his Op-Ed from June 23, 2005, about his embattled master plan for rebuilding ground zero.
He kind of alludes most important design decisions for the outcome was his. From the ashes of 9/11 rises Daniel Libeskind... What do you think?

The project is an epic disappointment. Instead of trying to find a silver lining Libeskind should rail against the forces that crushed the spirit of this place. He sounds so pathetically weak and nice. I can just imagine what kind of power hungry NYC a-holes were involved in the process. He should use this opportunity to forcefully criticize the process that reduced his role.
i disagree davvid--this project was very fraught to begin with, and required input from many entities... not just the architect. he is gracious to to look for the positives and not rant in a self-absorbed manner.
Graciousness is fine but its much more important that the architect has influence. I wish he would use his position now to criticize the process that diminished his influence and resulted in a weak design.
