The United States came together after the September 11 attacks that left lower Manhattan scarred and broken. Along with the two world trade center towers, the terrorist attacks destroyed the transportation hub for lower Manhattan. As the new World trade center towers go up there is another building that is gracing the ‘Wedge of Light’ plaza. This building will house the World Trade Center Transportation Hub, a junction of the Port Authority Trans-Hudson (PATH) commuter trains and the New York City subway trains. The building designed by Santiago Calatrava, is meant to emulate the look of a child throwing a dove into the air. This symbol of peace is a beautiful sign that even though great harm was done to the nation, we will rise above the hatred and violence.
When I glanced at this post it reminded me of a dove. This building has such incredible meaning!
I agree with Nichole! Riveting!
