In 2002 or so, architect Malcolm Wells (the illustrator of Liquid Gold as well as many books on underground homes) mailed to his friends color copies of his alternative vision for a Twin Towers memorial.
Mac was unimpressed by Liebskind’s and others’ proposals for a tower that thrust into the sky tauntingly.
Mac’s vision was for a bowl planted on every other level with plantings that insulated and oxygenated the site. Offices would be built into the earth.
A theme of healing, not aggression.
(I hope to find Mac’s original text soon.)
