Herbert Muschamp reports on the design and construction of viewing platforms at the site of World Trade Center in New York City.
"Transparency unobstructed vision is the solid virtue that will hold aloft a set of public viewing platforms on the perimeter of ground zero. Construction has begun on the first of four nearly identical platforms now proposed...The platforms, a grass roots initiative, were designed by four of the city's most highly respected architects: David Rockwell (Rockwell Group), Kevin Kennon, Elizabeth Diller and Ricardo Scofidio (Diller & Scofidio)."
