The People's Plan for a new World Trade Center
creates a living monument to 9/11 that provides,
as Mr. Yamasaki said architecture must, the elements
and
atmosphere people need for life, learning, work,
play, protection, remembrance and inspiration.
The commerce space is expansive and bustling;
the remembrance
space, quiet and contemplative.
Water, fire and grass, blue sky, buildings and beauty
blend with business and the arts, animated by people
who fill it not just
9 to 5 or for a gala evening but 24/7/365.
As Mr. Giuliani said in September 2002, intent
matters, and this product of many voices and views,
this proposed place of life and energy and hope, is
intended to be symbol, message and reality to ourselves
and the world that freedom and life outlast tyranny
and death, and that we not only survive, we prevail.
