Silverstein wouldn't have been responsible for building those towers, that's what always gets lost. The office space was to surround those towers, which were to stand above the footprints.
That plan was flawed from the beginning because all of the participants were told not to touch the memorial quadrant - although nobody listened.
Foster's plan for rebuilt, redesigned "twin" towers would have been best. You satisfy a large portion of the "rebuild the towers" crowd, and you satisfy the "build taller & better" crowd. It was a win-win. Basically, all Childs would have had to do was put the antenna platform on the revised tower at 1764 ft instead of 1776 ft. And the antennas would have rose to the planned 2000 or 2100 ft.
