From January 17 to February 16th 2002 Max Protetch will feature A New
World Trade Center: Design Proposals. Co-curated by Max Protetch, Aaron
Betsky, the staffs of Architectural Record, and Architecture magazines,
and other architecture professionals, the exhibition includes sketches,
renderings, and multimedia projects created by established and emerging
architects. This group includes many of the major figures in contemporary
architecture, including Michael Graves, Zaha Hadid, Hans Hollein, Daniel
Libeskind, Frei Otto, Coop Himmelblau, and a defining selection of architects
who are the influential talents of tomorrow. The show will also feature
proposals by several artists whose work enables them to make a particular
contribution to the dialogue. Architects have responded enthusiastically
to the enormity of the challenge at hand, and we are confident that the
exhibition will be a landmark opportunity both for architects and the
general public to explore the possibilities for the World Trade Center
site. In addition, the gallery will make its space available during the
exhibition for panel discussions, seminars, and fundraisers held by appropriate
charities.

I got to visit their gallery days after the exhibition opened and was
quite impressed with the presentation. Perhaps the most amazing thing
was the imagination of these great architects displayed through sketches,
models, photographs and multimedia. I'd spent only 30 minutes there but
I wish I could've stayed longer. I definitely plan on revisiting!
