Designers: Gisela Baurmann, Sawad Brooks and Jonas Coersmeier
This entry includes an open-air structure with cathedral-like vaults and a glass
walkway overhead, that is, the cloud. The cloud includes thousands of lights
that illuminate engraved names of the victims. It groups the rescuers’ names
separately in a ribbon that runs through the rest of the victims’ names. The
victims’ names are listed according to the location where they died. The
footprints are left vacant as two grassy fields. Baurmann is a New York
architect and a Fulbright Scholar who has designed a church and congregational
hall in Frankfurt, Germany, and has taught at a number of American universities.
She is principal at the New York firm, Amoebe Architecture. Brooks, a native of
Colombia who lives in New York, has exhibited at several museums including the
Whitney Museum of American Art and has taught at Yale and Brown universities.
Coersmeier is a New York City designer born in Germany who works as an
architectural designer.
