Developing one of the design schemes recently presented for rebuilding Ground Zero is "absolutely doable regardless of who owns what," declared Richard Kahan, former chairman and CEO of lower Manhattan's Battery Park City Authority and former president of New York State Urban Development Corp.
He spoke at a public forum in which the architects and planners of the nine recently presented designs listened to critical appraisals of their schemes (see related story on this Website). The event was held Jan. 7 in New York City, sponsored by Architectural Record magazine and attended by almost 500 architectural luminaries, industry professionals, New York City officials and concerned citizens. Architectural Record and ENR are both units of McGraw-Hill Construction.
