Set in the footprints of the Twin Towers, these twin reflecting pools offer a quiet, powerful space for remembrance.
Description
At the World Trade Center site, this outdoor plaza features the Survivor Tree, the Memorial Glade, and the massive pools where the names of the victims are engraved in bronze. The design is defined by water cascading endlessly into the void below, creating a solemn, peaceful space that encourages visitors to pause.
