Israeli-American architect Michael Arad’s design for the eight-acre site in Lower Manhattan includes twin reflecting pools, which rest on the sites of the Twin Towers, and an array of illuminated and heated bronze panels bearing the names of the victims, all arranged according to a system of “meaningful adjacency” to map relationship and bring together family and survivors. Arad spoke to Dwell about the memorial last year. (Credit: mark.hogan, creative commons) Photo 2 of 2 in Q&A With 9/11 Memorial Architect Michael Arad
