Libeskind's comment about using jazz as a theme for reconstruction is about as short sited as you can get. Why not turn it into another Disneyland. Thats what it would look like. NO is much more than jazz dixieland and food, just like architecture is much more than being different. Libeskind should stick to what he knows best and leave the important stuff for like rebuildinga city to others.
