    Thousands of others lost their lives and suffered injury that day while millions wept.

    That day was simply incomprehensible. It jolted us into a different world, a tragic reality that just did not seem real.

    This proposal envisions a memorial that simultaneously affords intimate and collective contemplation through silence within a tactile field of sensuous experience. It sets out to permanently record and express the sheer magnitude of loss through an architectural experience of a place radically different than what we encounter in our daily lives. In this light, the space itself serves as the memorial at all scales of experience and engagement – from within, driving by and from above
.
