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.
