World Trade Center: Security squashes Energy

We rather liked Daniel Libeskind's notion of wind turbines in the upper floors of the World Trade Center. He knew there were not enough people to fill it, so why not fill it with turbines? Then the police moved in (rather late in the game, we think) and suddenly the windmill space is moved to the bottom and made into a concrete bunker to enclose mechanical equipment. What a bore. What a failure of vision. ::Life without buildings.
