Daniel Libeskind's winning architectural design at the World Trade Center site in New York City includes various angular glass buildings, a tall tower and a subterranean memorial.

Martin Pawley: Sincere monumentalists lose out to politicians in WTC development

Article Abstract:

The monumentalists who wanted to commemorate the 9/11/01 event in their architectural design plan for the World Trade Center site appeared to have lost out to political and business interests.
