Dr_Evil_Mouse Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 I was glad (if a little sad) to see the analogy made: But if this is a potentially fascinating work of architecture, it is, sadly, fascinating in the way that Albert Speer's architectural nightmares were fascinating - as expressions of the values of a particular time and era. The Freedom Tower embodies, in its way, a world shaped by fear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zero Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 Weird Canadian connection is that Daniel Libeskind the architect is Stephen Lewis' brother in law making him Avi Lewis (and I guess Naomi Klein's) uncle. Can you imagine the conversation around that dinner table? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Evil_Mouse Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 Wow - no doubt. Sure sounds like Liebeskind got steamrolled on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timouse Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 The first sentence says it all... "The darkness at ground zero just got a little darker." Weird Canadian connection is that Daniel Libeskind the architect is Stephen Lewis' brother in law making him Avi Lewis (and I guess Naomi Klein's) uncle. Can you imagine the conversation around that dinner table? i heard that they make naomi and avi sit at the kid's table Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
