Abstract

This article presents an interview with Daniel Libeskind, the World Trade Center master planner. Answering a question Libeskind said, " I think all of it is quite literally around. The Freedom Tower reaches to 1,776 feet. It has a garden. It is shaped to be part of an ascending spiral of skyscrapers. It fits into the master plan. The same is true for the memorial. The site goes 35 feet below street level; it has the slurry wall as an important design element; it has a waterfall and possesses space for cultural buildings.
