Chapter 017 - 2003.06.26

  • Recall in history -

    • the infamous day in USA history -

      • 11 Sep 2001.

  • The day the planes were hijacked and flown into:

    • the Twin Towers in NYC

    • the Pentagon in Washington DC

    • the countryside in Shanksville, PA.

  • A little while after this event,

    • a contest was created -

      • to design a memorial -

        • at the Twin Towers footprint location.

  • I was one of the 5,201 design submitters.

  • Below is an image of my submission poster -

    • taken on this chapter day.

  • My design got no special recognition in the contest.

  • Maybe too complex.

  • Maybe it was not understood.

  • The design utilized an old discovery/ creation of mine.

  • The exact same object structure -

    • that is seen within the TAPable logo -

      • used throughout this website.

  • But for the WTC memorial -

    • the 3D structure required a -

      • 23x23x23 design -

        • instead of the 5x5x5 -

          • used in the TAPable logo.

  • Each person who died was given one side of a mini-cube.

  • Then there were markers in the field -

    • where one would stand to get a best view -

      • as the large structure slowly rotated.

  • One field spot accomodated three individual's memorials -

    • so a connection was established -

      • between three who probably never knew -

        • the other two existed in the world.

  • But all would be forever connected -

    • by both the space and surfaces in the structure -

      • as well as the markers in the field.
