Dual Memory Memorial

Dual Memory by Brian Strawn and Karla Sierralta

Memorial contains a "Individual Memory Footprint" where the North Tower once stood and a "Shared Memory Footprint" where the South Tower once stood. A landscape plain connects the two. The "Individual Memory Footprint" contains a floating plain of water over an enclosed pavilion, water memory walls, projected images and stories and the victims' names. The "Shared Memory Footprint" contains 92 Sugar Maple trees, soil from 92 countries, wood benches and "Messages of Hope" from 92 countries carved on stone walls. The area between the two footprints allows for public gathering. The "Shared Memory Footprint" contains space for meditation and quiet contemplation. (Courtesy of the LMDC / November 19, 2003)
