What if the very ground of the WTC site became the memorial? The entire surface of the site is organized according to a system of paving (each stone equal to the original proportions of the towers) which blends grass, stone, water, and light to create diverse spaces of gathering and remembrance. As these fields filter into one another they allow for the transition between personal reflection, collective memory, and urban events.
