Well, danged, when we get beyond the hair splittin', there does seem to be an agreement that a "memorial" is in order but as I suggested in my earlier post, it doesn't have to be doom and gloom.

I think of the sculpture "garden" at the Hirshorn Museum in Washington, D.C., with it beautiful mix of fountains, gardens and sculpture.

What a fitting way to memeorialize those have come before us and to *celebrate* life.

Now, I only made it one year in "architetcure" in college but it does seem that it is not imimpossible to design a building that rests on four massave corner feet that that elevators and utilities also share and have an open area under the building for such a project. And if it were built with an atrium down the center, it would provide not only an openess but also a building that is user friendly in that where you give up footage, you gain in the innner windowed offices.

Just my two cents worth...
