No doubt about it: Libeskind's vision is being realized to a far, far greater degree than anyone could have predicted when his plan was first adopted.
The FT at 1,776 feet with a symbolic "SoL" referencing-spire, the ascending swirl of towers... not to mention that 2 WTC looks
a lot like one of his "placeholders!" The memorial is where he wanted it, and while it's (mercifully) not just an open pit, there nevertheless WILL be underground chambers leading down to the very foundations of the slurry wall, like he envisioned. Why - even his vision of giant waterfalls will be realized! Who would have foreseen
that?
Libeskind has every reason to be satisfied with the final outcome, except perhaps for having wanted to design a building or two himself... nevetheless, his vision will be realized.
