Fast Company Goes Behind the Scenes of the 9/11 Museum at Ground Zero

9/11 Ground Zero Twin Towers World Trade Center Memorial Michael Arad

Michael Arad's Memorial Pools under construction.

From Fast Company: The museum seems destined to become one of the most remarkable memorial structures in America.

“In 100 years, there won’t be anyone alive that experienced 9/11,” says Steven Davis, whose architecture firm, Davis Brody Bond Aedas, is designing the 9/11 Museum. “What will you tell them? And how will you tell them, to make them understand what happened?”

Davis spoke to Co.Design during a tour yesterday of the unfinished site, which is slated for completion on September 11, 2012–a scant two years from now, and eleven years after the Twin Towers fell.

WOW! I was a senior in high school when the attacks occured. The tv in each classroom were broadcasted the news channels… I hope those who have lost loved ones at that time are doing ok today. You are thought of often and in prayers for comfort and peace.
