Stretch your minds back to the latter half of 2005, Dear Readers, and remember Daniel Libeskind's show at the always charming Max Protetch's eponymous gallery. And while we're sure you remember, word for word, verbatim for verbatim, we'll refresh your memories:

In his zeal to project his relevance at Ground Zero, did Daniel Libeskind go so far as to reimagine the timeline of the development and attempt to freeze same in a sketchy "process" sketch?

The Californians, of course. From last week's Palm Springs' The Desert Sun:

In 2003, David Libeskind, a visionary and expressive architect, was selected as the official master planner of Ground Zero, the 16-acre site of the World Trade Center.

His winning proposal called for a single 1,776-foot glass tower recalling Lady Liberty's extended hand reaching skyward.

This scroll contains several schematics for the complex site. Incorporating a memorial, cultural buildings, the Freedom Tower and other office towers and public spaces, Libeskind sought to incorporate a tribute to the altruism and courage of the fallen and provide an expression of freedom and optimism for the future.

Due to a combination of political and economic forces, much of his original concept has been altered. His original notions can be seen in this piece, "World Trade Center Scroll."
