National September 11 Memorial Museum (Davis Brody Bond)
Built with archives and remnants from that fateful day, the emotionally gripping structure by Davis Brody Bond has been described as "cathedral-like" in its intensity and solemnity. Steven Davis, a partner at DBB who will be one of the architects leading the Archtober tour, told Dwell earlier this year that the space presented an intriguing challenge. “If you think about what we had as a site, and that a traditional museum is an icon containing exhibits, this is the inverse. The exhibit is the icon.”
