Reflecting Absence, World
Trade Center Site Memorial
An Evening with Michael Arad,
Architect, World Trade Center Memorial
Architect Michael Arad had been living in New
York for a little more than two years before
9/11. Born in London, he spent his high-school
years in Mexico City, where his father was the
Israeli ambassador (and close aide to Yitzhak
Rabin back home). Arad was selected from
over 5000 competitors as the winning designer
of the World Trade Center Memorial with
“Reflecting Absence” - a pair of pools set 30
feet deep in the “ footprints” of the downed
towers, with cascading waterfalls surrounded
by the names of the dead, areas at the
bedrock level where the public can mourn
and family members of the victims can grieve
in private, a space for 9/11 relics and a “living
park” at ground level meant to symbolize life
and rebirth.
