2 Teams of Architects to Compete for Ground Zero Design

One more story from The New York Times. This one outlines two plans for the rebuilding of Ground Zero of the World Trade Center.

A museum that would cantilever over the pit would serve as an entrance to the Ground Zero memorial. In addition, two large public spaces at ground level would also commemorate the victims; the park areas would be located to catch rays of sunlight each year on Sept. 11, from the time of the first attack to the collapse of the north tower.
