<p>I find it extremely odd that Daniel Libeskind's name is not mentioned at all in the article I posted. It is presented as a creation of MVRVD, odd to the point of misrepresenation.</p>

<p>seems almost contradictory to the background you give us on Libeskind, who knows very much about the Twin Towers and 9-11, contractictory to the point of deception.</p>
<p>More of the complete official respose by MVRVD is found here</p>

<p>From what you tell of us Libeskind's familiarity with 9-11 and the Twin Towers and Ground Zero, no way he did not know exactly what he was doing when he designed "The Cloud."

<p>This was designed by Daniel Libeskind, most famous for being selected by the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation to oversee the rebuilding of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Trade_Center_site" title="World Trade Center site">World Trade Center</a> As all his constructions are very subjective for the Ground Zero project, he felt a personal link with these buildings, he had assisted their construction, his brother had worked on it, and his father worked near the tours towers. So he considers that he knows well how to rebuild it. He wants to put a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memorial" title="Memorial">memorial</a> in the center of the project always in the idea to respect history (and to continue its work of memory). He wants the buildings that will rise on this place to wear the testimony of this tragedy.</p>
