New York, New York
The competition submission for the World Trade Center site proposed the memorial component be interwoven throughout the landscape. Lines representing the lives of all visitors, past, present and future, weave and twine through the site: as light, as stone, as earth, as shade, as living vegetation. The site is a place of honor that is experienced as an inscribed event along each individual's path. Commemoration occurs throughout the site with pathways and gathering areas uniting strands of light, allees of trees, earthen berms, water rills and linear seating. These are the connecting strands that extend throughout the site, leading to the primary memorial zones within the reflecting pools demarcating the original tower boundaries.
