Location: The Forest at Duke Auditorium
reception to follow
Presented by Lester Levine
A billion+ people watched “9/11” on television, the greatest shared event in world history. Reflecting this, the 2003 World Trade Center Memorial Design Competition drew 5,201 entries from 60 countries. But until Mr. Levine in 2011, no one had ever explored them all.
While most designs were traditional somber hardscapes, a few were radically imaginative. They included sound, color, movement, technology or visitor participation. Some reached across the globe, cyberspace, even into outer space. These visions stirred questions about their creators. Who were they? What were they thinking and feeling? How did their concept develop? Over 4 years, Mr. Levine sought them out. The result is his book “9/11 Memorial Visions”. Signed copies will be available following the talk.
