In rebuilding the World Trade Center site, a city and a nation set out to examine what it means to be American and the leader of a global community. Never before has the United States undergone a project of such sheer size and symbolic significance. Paul Goldberger visits the Revelle Forum to speak about his new book on the World Trade Center site, Up From Zero: Politics, Architecture, and the Rebuilding of New York (Random House). Goldberger wrote on Architecture for The New York Times for 25 years and is currently the Architecture critic of The New Yorker magazine. In Up from Zero, he vividly recounts the story of the design selection process, describing how conflicting pressures from economic hopes, politics, grief, hubris and powerful egos have shaped decisions about the project, and offering his own evaluation of the design and its implications. Advance registration advised. Registration fee is $35. No refunds. When registering, refer to section ID #047894. Call 858-534-3400 to register. The talk will be followed by a booksigning.

The series takes place in the 350-seat auditorium of The Neurosciences Institute located at 10640 John Jay Hopkins Drive (parking is free). Advance registration is advised, as seating is limited. For more information on the series and on each speaker, visit http://revelleforum.ucsd.edu
