Re: They picked the design for the WTC memorial.

'The memorial will be one of two focal points at the trade center site, along with the 1,776-foot glass skyscraper known as the Freedom Tower. Four other buildings are planned where the trade center once stood'

I don't understand where these other four buildings will be, are those the original footprints that they are preserving? I hope so...

Re: They picked the design for the WTC memorial.

'This design proposes a space that resonates with the feelings of loss and absence that were generated by the death and destruction at the World Trade Center. Reflective pools mark the location of the towers' footprints. The surface of these pools is broken by large void which can be read as containers of loss, being close-by yet inaccessible.'
