Just when you thought the WTC site might be finally, peacefully reconstructed, former Yale architecture student Thomas Shine has filed suit against Freedom Tower architect David Childs (and architecture firm Skidmore, Owings & Merrill LLP) for allegedly violating copyrights of designs Childs created while in school. Naturally, we figured ousted WTC redesign head Daniel Libeskind is eating this shit up, so we contacted his lawyer, Ed Hayes, for comment. Hayes cryptically said, "I'd love to give a good quote because it would be such a good story if it turned out to be true, but I haven't a clue about the facts so for once in my life I will keep my mouth shut." Borrrring. We know Libeskind is already on his 5th celebratory drink.
