9.11 Memorial Memorial

The memorial is located at the World Trade Center site, on the former location of the Twin Towers destroyed during the attacks

The memorial is a wrenching representation of loss and absence, and a poignant reminder of the new and alien sense of vulnerability that came over the country after the terrorist attacks 10 years ago today.

9.11 Memorial

The winner of the World Trade Center Site Memorial Competition was Israeli-American architect Michael Arad of Handel Architects, a New York- and San Francisco-based firm. Arad worked with landscape architecture firm Peter Walker and Partners on the design which calls for a forest of trees with two square pools in the center, where the Twin Towers once stood...

Arad's dream is to keep the memory of 9/11 alive in the midst of a pulsing financial district. At eight acres, the memorial will account for half of the 16-acre site known as ground zero, where the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey is investing $11 billion in a massive redevelopment, scheduled for completion in late 2014.

“The Memorial Flag is meant to serve as a long-lasting symbol of our respect for those who were lost on September 11th and our resilience in the face of tragedy,”
