The committee met yesterday to make their decision. Recently, unconfirmed reports suggested two designs were in the lead: Berlin-based Studio Daniel Libeskind's proposal for a 1,776-ft glass tower coined the Gardens of the World, and one of the three designs submitted by "THINK," a New York team headed by Rafael Vinoly and Fred Schwartz, which called for the construction of two glass cylinders above the footprints featuring a glass-lattice design.
The finalists will be asked to revise their designs and a master plan will be chosen by the end of this month.
