After the attack on the World Trade Center, New York City, called for a "soaring”.
But ten years later Daniel Libeskind saw in those walls a raw memento of that bitter day and a symbol of the strength of the city and nation.
the entire memorial plaza far below street level. To do that also meant, in effect, asking them to situate their memorials within a larger and potentially overwhelming commemorative space. Arad's design originally called for ramps that would lead visitors down to galleries 30 ft. below ground.




the names of the 9/11 dead would be inscribed on walls visible behind the curtains of falling water. It might have been a profoundly beautiful effect.
the idea was dropped. Instead the names are engraved — cut all the way through, actually, and backlit at night — on bronze panels along the parapets that form the perimeter of both voids

there are 2,983, including everyone (other than the terrorists) who died at the World Trade Center and the Pentagon and in the crash of United Airlines Flight 93 in Shanksville, Pa., as well as the six who died in the truck bomb attack on the Twin Towers in 1993

I think the memorial is good because everyone can see who all died on 9/11, and the six who died in the truck bomb attack on the Twin Towers in 1993. It also can give closure to the families that lost a loved one that day. It also remind people what happened on that day, and to the people that lost their life to save other people
