Project for One World Trade Center
Lower Manhattan how it will soon be with the almost completed One World Trade Center which will have 104 floors and will be 1776 feet high (the year of American Independence). The tall antenna will be an ambassador for peace.
Reflecting Absence
"The design strives to make visible what is absent. The primary responsibility we have is to those we lost that day." Michael Arad.

I am sure you have heard the question many times: “Where were you that day?”
My answer: I was in Milan and just after lunch I went for coffee to a friend whose daughter was working in Manhattan as a lawyer. We heard the news from her…thankfully she was safe and she was miraculously able to call and say she was OK…then the phone line dropped and the second tower was hit.Ten years have passed, life went on but we didn’t forget.

A very appropriate post and a very carefully created one. Merci.
I believe that the design for the memorial has been divinely inspired; it is pure inspiration and perfection. A symbol of peace and hope to come. Mary
Where was I? I was in Houston working on a client's house. I shall never forget. xxpeggybraswelldesign.com
Pure and strong design and how very symbolic. Yes, I was at the University lounge and saw it on their large screen television as it was happening.
This is a very powerful post Albarosa. I also remember exactly where I was and what I was doing that morning. Funny how these things leave such an imprint. When I visiting the site for this project last year, I could already tell it is going to be turned into something beautiful!
