The Impossible Burden of the WTC Memorial | Metropolis MagazineI am surprised that no one has directly challenged the LMDC's unhealthy relationship to time. So I offer an alternative vision, a ninth plan: for now, stop the memorial process. Designate an area on the WTC site for the memorial, wait at least five years, and then conduct another competition for a permanent tribute. Between now and then, have temporary, changing memorials. Perhaps, after more time has passed, all of us will have a clearer idea exactly what we're memorializing.
