The great mind behind the architecture of the Freedom Tower is a busy little mind indeed.
Daniel Libeskind had been busy opening a museum in Toronto. He created designs for residential enclaves around the world after he finished designing the Freedom Tower and now we learn from New York Magazine that Libeskind is working on another building in New York City.
The magazine reports that he is designing a residential building in lower Manhattan – a commission he is being very hush, hush about though.
What he will say about it is this: It comes from a private client, he hopes it will become a landmark by installing a “green” sensibility inside the building and it will go up on an historic site in New York City. Without saying where or when, he promises it will go up within sight of the Statue of Liberty. That might mean it will also go up within sight of his famed Freedom Tower too.
Like the Freedom Tower, we have little choice. We just have to wait and see. Who ever the publicist is handling this project, the campaign to stir the pot has already begun.

Ah yes, ’tis a breath of fresh air to read that architects are utilizing the latest trend in building ‘green’ structures. Perhaps this sort of attention paid to these innovations will actually contribute to the world’s true form of inspiration.

What is the “world’s true form of inspiration”?
