Judges unveil 9/11 memorial design

A DESIGN consisting of two reflecting pools and a large grove of trees has been chosen for the World Trade Centre memorial after an eight-month competition that drew more than 5,000 entries from around the world.

The Reflecting Absence memorial, designed by Michael Arad and Peter Walker, was chosen by a 13-member jury of artists, architects and civic and cultural leaders.

The winning memorial was announced by the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation, the agency overseeing the rebuilding of the site.
