Design Plan
The Wisdom of Remembering
- Description
- Foam core submission board designed for the World Trade Center Site Memorial Competition in 2003, titled “The Wisdom of Remembering.” This design plan proposes two fields of solid white stems covering each tower's entire footprint. Certain stems would rise and fall at significant points during the day. At night, the stems would be lowered, and beams of light would take their place to outline the tower footprints.
