| <nettime> Irrepressible capitalism: WTC redevelopment |
_Grid_ magazine, the lifestyle magazine for New York real estate developers, today web-posted a news item/propaganda piece on Larry Silverstein's hiring of architects as consultants in drafting WTC redevelopment plans. Silverstein envisions "something of spectacular beauty, something that again will become the icon of New York and serve as the economic generator of activity of the financial district and [honor] the 6,000 lives lost and the courage of those who came to help. "In five years we can have this thing done," he concludes. The _Grid_ announcement, with link to the story: LARRY SILVERSTEIN ENLISTS TOP DESIGN MINDS FOR TRADE CENTER REDEVELOPMENT Larry Silverstein has 'brought on board' prestigious architects David Childs of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill and Alexander Cooper of Cooper Robertson Architects to help him plan the redevelopment of the devastated World Trade Center, the developer told GRID today.
