Ground Zero plans hit new heights

TWO designs that would put the tallest buildings in the world at the site of the World Trade Centre have been selected as the finalists in the plan to redevelop Ground Zero.

The plan from Berlin architect Daniel Libeskind calls for glassy, angular buildings clustered around the foundations of the fallen towers.

The other, proposed by an international team of design firms known as THINK, evokes the original trade centre with twin towers of ethereal latticework.
