David Rockwell costruisce a Ground Zero

After 9/11, a humble plywood viewing platform was built at Ground Zero to meet the urgent need for public mourning and reflection. Crowds lined up for hours, drawn not by a monument, but by empty space and the chance to leave personal tributes. Designed and funded in record time, this project relied on collaboration, quick thinking, and flexible materials to turn tragedy into shared experience. The effort showed how simple civic spaces can foster dialogue and resilience in the wake of devastation.
