Well, they did have to do a lot of cleaning up. First they have to be careful when taking out the debris from the site since bodies could still be buried beneath those rubles. Second they also have to make sure that the seawall won't give in or else it's going to turn into a huge pool (the site next to the WTC is just a reclaimed land.) There was also the case of redesigning the tower.

Yeah, I thought it looks really symbolic. I believe I read it on the Lower Manhattan site that it was inspired by a bird taking flight. Though the design is not quite unique since it's quite identical to his other works like Gare de Lyon Saint-Exupéry and Milwaukee Art Museum.
