Morphosis (Thom Mayne) won the 2012 village design competition (Bloomberg will announce 5/26). That means the firm will move forward on developing the design for the final NYC submission. The idea is, even if we do not get the Olympics (I think I can say we agree that Olympics + NYC = Bad? And Big Jimmy says no way it will happen), that the plan will be so tempting that developers will invest in the site regardless. Not to mention that the plan will already have been developed at a cost to the City, this saves developers about half their expense anyway.
I liked Morphosis proposal the best of the bunch... but I didn't really like any of them too too much.
