IDblog ... an information design weblog

WTC design concepts

An article in the Washington Post pointed me to renewnyc.org, a website of the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation. This apparently is the group responsible for what happens on the site of the World Trade Center.

What's relevant to IDblog readers is the content that (apparently) went up on the site after the announcement of the new designs today. It describes all nine design concepts in a very cool way. It seems clear that each team must have been required to submit content that could be plugged into this site in order to facilitate community review. I'm only a very modest architecture buff, but this way of presenting the designs makes it very accessible.

They claim they'll pick a design by the end of January. Should be interesting to see...some of the designs are a bit, umm, challenging.
