Gretchen Hollrah – Blog 8 – Memoria E Luce, 9/11 Memorial by Daniel Libeskind

This structure is a memorial located in Padua, Italy built in honor of victims of the 9/11 attacks in New York City in 2001. One interesting thing about this memorial is that it has a twisted steel beam that was salvaged from the World Trade Center after the attacks incorporated in it. The design of this memorial was meant to model an open book, which was the first thing I initially thought before reading that. The project was completed in 2005.
