Michael Arad, designer of the World Trade Center Memorial, New York

“I think my desire to imagine a future for this site came out of trying to come to terms with the emotions that day aroused,” said Handel Architects Partner and World Trade Center Memorial designer Michael Arad of witnessing the collapse of the World Trade Center. Four days after the opening of the memorial to that event, Arad will give an account of the long and sometimes-contentious road to its creation, and discuss how this new space of remembrance interacts with other elements of the 16-acre Ground Zero site: four towers, a public plaza, complex transportation infrastructure, and an underground museum.
