Contract - June 2014 - 112

Photos of each of the
nearly 3,000 victims of the
2001 and 1993 terrorist
attacks are shown in
an exhibition (above).

by Davis Brody Bond. Visitors descend an entry ramp clad in
dark wenge wood that switchbacks as it goes down, allowing
visitors time to distance themselves from the world above.
"By the time people reach bedrock, we have given them a
chance to react to their own memories," says Carl Krebs, AIA,
a partner at Davis Brody Bond. A fellow partner, Steven M.
Davis, FAIA, led the design with Krebs and Mark Wagner, AIA,
an associate partner (see profile, page 104).
Progressing down the ramp, visitors are oriented with
views of the inverted Twin Tower volumes, clad in mottled
aluminum to reference the facade of the original towers. The
original towers' footprints, the slurry wall that survived the
buildings' destruction, and a staircase that many people used
to escape-known as the Survivors' Stair-were elements
that Davis Brody Bond was mandated to include in its design.
"Architects love constraints," Krebs says. "The slurry wall gave
us height, and the need to provide public access to both
towers gave us breadth."
The architects worked to keep the aluminum-clad
volumes uncluttered by any mechanical equipment from
the memorial pools above, retaining their scale and impact.

The volumes are designed to appear as though they hover
over the footprints of the original towers, which are visible
with original bases of the box columns still in the ground.
Within the tower footprints are the two significant
exhibition areas-one remembering the victims of the attacks,
and the other a thorough narrative documenting the events
of 9/11 and its aftermath, with artifacts from the site. The
overall open design of the museum allows visitors areas of
respite before or after viewing the exhibition spaces that
were designed by Thinc Design, Local Projects, and
Layman Design.
Now that the museum has been opened to the public,
Wagner says the response to the work of the architects and
designers has been positive. "I think we've created a more
comforting space than expected," Wagner says. "Visitors
and family members are connecting with it in the way we
connected with it. Some of the key things that we were trying
to achieve with the architecture seem to be understood." c
