"... the last decade has witnessed a sharp rise in the number of buildings whose design seems motivated not primarily by any functional goal but by a desire to enhance the status of the cities or countries that have commissioned them. But to imply that this strays from architecture's historical goals is to deny history."

"The problem on all fronts is money, as the developer Larry Silverstein watches his contribution to the tower's building fund diminish and federal promises of the full $21 billion in post-9/11 aid grow fainter by the day.

This idea, floated earlier by Mayor Bloomberg's office, makes sense. The tax breaks would not help in Lower Manhattan as much as direct aid. But cash — estimated in the range of $2 billion to $3 billion — could certainly boost an area still suffering from the aftershocks of 9/11."
