13:26 - From the ashes a fire shall be woken

Lileks got me Googling, and I found this site which seems to be a snarky and satiric—though full of excellent real information—blog on architecture in New York.
And it's covering today's Donald Trump unveiling of his new WTC proposal, which Curbed had described (sight unseen) as "tall, leggy, and voluptuous".
If I'm not terribly mistaken, isn't that the Gardner/Belton design? You know, the one that not only proposes a practical use of the site, features a gorgeous set of supporting buildings and some amazingly appropriate memorials, restores the original skyline in a confident and unapologetic manner, and actually looks good?
If so, hot diggity damn. If it's got Trump behind it now, it stands a real chance.
