Michael Arad is a name that usually goes unnoticed. He is the young (35) architect that designed the World Trade Center Memorial. It seems that everyone who might possibly be involved with the project has taken a turn at re-designing it. Two more architectural firms have been added. The Port Authority, victims families, downtown residents...all have been insistent upon being heard and their design modifications considered.
Considering the city and its history...I seriously doubt that the final project will look anything at all like the submitted design and the project will go over budget by at least 100%. Memorial? Hah! It's a cash cow for those that hang around City Hall.
Didn't someone once say that a camel was a horse designed by a committee?
