New Jersey悼念911事件的念碑已公,由the Manhattan-based architect Frederic Schwartz. 主。
我念碑的第一次接是Maya Lin's Vietnam War memorial in Washington. 者中人史的vibes。以下是自己the memorial的notes搭配911事件念碑。
English description is from 《New York Times》
1:Significance: Mr. Schwartz said that he planned the memorial to be "powerful, and it should be, to reflect the magnificent people who died."
2:Concept: Mr. Schwartz's memorial, "Empty Sky," is reminiscent of Maya Lin's Vietnam War memorial in Washington. It has two facing walls of brushed stainless steel with the names of each New Jersey victim engraved on them. As Mr. Schwartz's firm put it: "Individuals' names are within easy reach and engraved deep enough for hand rubbing
3:Design-material\transition:The walls' proportions will be the same as those of the twin towers if they were lying on their sides. And the surfaces of the steel walls will reflect the changing light of day, as the towers once did. At night the memorial will be illuminated so beams of light shoot into the sky.
4:Dead《be memorized》:"All the names are there, and you can touch and see them"
5:Visitors 《remember》:Between the walls will be a walkway of bluestone. And at the base of each wall will be a space for visitors to leave tributes to the dead.
之所以引用case文章,是有多The memorial itself探911─我新的事件如何interprete。我不在意的“要有力地呈些大的逝者”,倒是care眠者前去悼念者的互,及the memorial如何去的子星塔。我是如此深文章中的句:
→"All the names are there, and you can touch and see them"
→" Between the walls will be a walkway of bluestone. And at the base of each wall will be a space for visitors to leave tributes to the dead. "
→"Individuals' names are within easy reach and engraved deep enough for hand rubbing"
→"And the surfaces of the steel walls will reflect the changing light of day, as the towers once did. "
到了,如何念碑角度特定人事物?!之所以用念碑概念,是想突破有方式哀事件。或保留原有方式是表特性,but I want to have a go by alternative, esp this form(the memorial) is the original way we memorize an incident.
