Muschamp, a man who knows which way the wind is blowing, initially appeared to favour Libeskind and then swung firmly behind Rafael Vinoly's "Think" group, which includes Japanese architect Shigeru Ban and British engineers Ove Arup and Buro Happold. Their non-commercial latticework towers were, declared Muschamp in the New York Times on January 28, "a work of genius, a towering affirmation of humanism in modern times." This is absurd hyperbole, and sounds like a bandwagon being jumped on: clearly Vinoly's team is making headway, and nobody wants to be associated with a loser. Muschamp also noted that the key Think/Vinoly image of their twin towers had become the preferred symbol of the competition by magazines everywhere.
