CNN: World Trade Center: Your Proposals
While  the Port Authority of New York is reviewing six different plans to replace the World Trade Center, many people have their own ideas about what should occupy the area where the towers stood. CNN posted over 1,000 designs submitted from around the world. Sketches, diagrams, and descriptions express how sacred the 16 acres known as Ground Zero have become. Some of the drawings appear to have been made by children, while others look quite professional. Most incorporate solemn tributes to the dead with some measure of commercial space. Gardens, fountains, reflecting pools, park benches, flags, and eternal flames are popular. Many people suggest the footprint of the original towers be left vacant, while a few recommend no commercial buildings at all. It will probably be years before a plan is completed, but in the meantime, we can reflect and ponder the nature of a truly fitting memorial. (in September 11th Attacks) |
