I read a few of the NY newspaper articles concerning the ideas presented.
-Everyone says they are ideas and not representative of what will happen exactly.
-The designers had certain paramaters x amount of office space had to de was well as certain amounts of both retail and hotel space.
-It's also a good idea to consider the engineering limitations. With the WTC's aproximity to the subway, sea level, other buildings etc. Certain percautions and rules have to be followed.
With that said I think it would be a really neat idea to have one large U shaped building about 60 floors tall on three sides of this memorial park. The open side of the U would be facing the water.
