Freedom from Liberty at WTC  the newly redesigned Empire State Building with a twist Since it is the 4th of July here is a little bit on the Freedom Tower at the WTC site. Nicolai Ouroussoff pretty much nails it in the NYT's here. Also, check out the commentary by curbed. I'm going to take something from Jerry Saltz's January 2004 lecture in Portland, namely the Panorama at the Queen's Museum. Though unintentional, the Panorama looks like it will be the best WTC memorial (below). It is an insult to injury that the "Freedom from Liberty" tower's architecture is more of a Maginot Line challenge to terrorists than a challenging design.
