The Memory of 9/11

• • Let's be clear the Trade Center site as a whole is a lost opportunity.
  • A great urban ensemble where low-rise theaters and cultural centers would rub shoulders with skyscrapers.
  • For that reason alone, it was essential that it should deliver, and it does, on its promise to be both a powerful and a contemplative space.
  • A unified sheet of water, expresses a sense of lost and grief.
  • Ramps that would lead visitors down to galleries 30 ft. below ground.
  • A 70-ft.-deep concrete "bathtub" scorched by the fires of the attack.
  • The completed memorial still evokes the immensity of 9/11.
  • Surrounded the voids with a six-acre park plaza of granite pavers and closely planted white oaks
  • Because the water pours into the tanks through narrow channels spaced an inch and a half apart, it drops first in separate rivulets.
  • As those descend they combine into a unified sheet of water, a mingling that speaks of the many lives joined by the vast event that was 9/11.
  
  
  The monument first of all shows who lost there life in the 9/11 attack on the twin towers, also the ones who did it. There names were carved into a Two massive square voids sited within the footprints of the towers. It also has a stairs that goes 30ft down under the towers to show more names. It has what it needed to be at the monument but is missing a few things. The things that it could have are some statues of the two towers in between the monuments. Also it could have some panting people could make to remember.
