the war on terror memorial
to coordinate with the laying of the cornerstone for the freedom tower on the site of the world trade center, the meta-roj blog announces a design contest for the war on terror memorial.
we have a great tradition of war memorials in america, and i want to get a jump on this one. you have a big legacy – the new world war 2 memorial, the vietnam wall, and thousands of others, both grand and subtle.
i love creative people, so let’s get on this. i don’t want to impose too many restrictions, but i do appreciate the value of boundaries. so, let’s make these designs that can be built in physical space, and, in memorial tradition, something that will last (no virtual memorials, no projectors and such). the contest is open to everyone. just drop a link to your design proposal in the comments.
