NEW YORK — Two designs that would put the
tallest buildings in the world at the site of the World
Trade Center were selected Tuesday as the finalists
in the plan to redevelop ground zero.
The plan from Berlin architect Daniel Libeskind
calls for glassy, angular buildings clustered around
the foundations of the fallen towers. The other, pro
posed by an international team of design firms
known as THINK, evokes the original trade center
with twin towers of ethereal latticework.
The final plan will be picked at the end of the
month.
“What we’re doing today is advancing two
extraordinary designs,” said Roland Betts, head of
the redevelopment planning committee. Neither is
“set in stone,” he Said, but officials will try to retain
the main concepts.
The final designs include a conceptual vision for
where the victims' memorial might be built, but a
specific plan is scheduled to be chosen in September
after an international competition.
Nine proposals for redeveloping the 16-acre site
where nearly 2,8(X) people were killed were unveiled
late last year.
The selection of the finalists came after a some-
times-contentious review that involved the Lower
Manhattan Development Corp., the agency oversee
ing redevelopment, and the Port Authority of New
York and New Jersey, which owns the trade center
site.
The finalists each feature buildings surpassing
Malaysia’s 1,483-foot Petronas Twin Towers, the
tallest in the world. The trade center towers were
1,350 feet.
A cluster of stark, geometric buildings — one
topped by a spire reaching 1,776 feet — forms the
core of Libeskind’s design. The THINK team, led by
architects Rafael Vinoly and Frederic Schwartz, con
ceived a “World Cultural Center” with two 1,665-
foot towers.
Neither envisions office space at the top of the
structures.
The Libeskind design calls for 70 stories of
offices, with airy “gardens of the world” beckoning
tourists above office level. In the THINK plan, a
library, museum and other cultural attractions would

Betts suggested a number of practical ih
must be addressed.
For example, Libeskind’s plan to present
of ground zero’s seven-story pit must also
force a wall holding back the Hudson River,
said “issues related to cost and height” w
analyzed for the THINK plan.

Other hurdles remain. Developer
