A Boston architect wants to use a design for a rocket-like skyscraper as a memorial at the World Trade Centre site in New York.

Could Gaudi's design replace the World Trade Centre in New York?

Paul Laffoley wants to use Spanish architect, Antoni Gaudi's 1908 design in a memorial to be eventually erected at the site.

Gaudi came up with the design in 1908 for a New York hotel that was never built.

The Lower Manhattan Development Corporation is in the process of organising an international competition to come up with a suitable memorial.
