Today’s News - Friday, April 5, 2002

At the invitation of a New York gallery owner - and in very short order - 58 architects, designers, and artists submitted design proposals for the World Trade Center site. The New York show ran from mid-January to mid-February, and created quite a stir. Our newest feature on the home page highlights just a few of those proposals, some practical, some visionary, which will be on display for the next two months at the National Building Museum in Washington, DC. Several of the participants will be in Washington this Sunday for a panel discussion, "Re-imagining Ground Zero."
