WORLD TRADE CENTER CONCEPTUAL DESIGN
KRUECK + SEXTON
New York, New York
2002
This proposal is an affirmation of life, the vitality of the city and of our country's most fundamental values. Glass occuli memorizing the dead are located on the footprints of the original towers. Suspended at the plaza level, they are inscribed with the names of the dead and continuously washed by a thin layer of water. A fragment of the original facade marks the corner of where the North Tower once stood.
The exterior of the building is a changing and ever flexible skin, reflecting the freedoms and the dynamic strength of America. The transparent and lightweight structure placed along Church Street is lifted into the air, welcoming people to this sacred ground.
