I agree. Of course. I was confining my comment to the architecture but my point (not clear) was wisdom and critique obviously needs to start at another level. (If we learned anything from 9/11 I had hoped it would be that we are vulnerable and not the 'super power' once prescribed. What did 'we' do instead, we had to go and flex our muscles).
Architecturally, and maybe metaphorically, buildings (usually) have longer life lines than we do. Is it interesting to see a building designed in response to 9/11, sure. Do we want our entire building-scape to reflect 9/11, I sure hope not.
