Ingenting för Stockholm hoppas jag - vi har en världsunik låg skyline att bevara - men för New York skulle nog detta förslag med nyklassicistiska skyskrapor, som publicerats i City Journal, vara lyckosamt. I inledningen skriver de sju arkitekterna bakom förlaget:
"The rebuilding of the World Trade Center site has gotten everyone talking about architecture, but so far it's a one-sided conversation, as if the only question worth discussing is: What kind of modernism do we want? The graceless modernism of Daniel Libeskind's brutal and exhibitionistic "master plan"? The suave modernism of David Childs's valiant (but hopeless) effort to transform that plan's tallest building into a silk purse? But since we've now had 50 years of modernism here in New York, and only a half-dozen good buildings among hundreds of awful ones to show for it, maybe what we really want now is . . . not modernism."
vad jag letade efter, tack
