Architect Moshe Safdie said making the building less tall would ruin its symbolism, but the local planning commission overwhelmingly rejected it. Foundation CEO Joe Daniels told The Post and Courier of Charleston that Safdie remains on contract, but won't do the redesign until they hear what the community has to say. ___ This story has been corrected.Read more on NewsOK.com
