September 11, 2001 Memorial for US Dept. of Defense. ASID Award.

Design concept, project design & management.  7-ft high computer-etched glass mural panels, museum quality bases and custom LED display lighting to highlight elements from all three crash sites.

A 22-foot wide exterior window bay was converted into an interior space for the display of site artifacts & three unique glass murals depicting the events of 9-11, including the involvement of the many professionals in the rescue, investigation & clean-up operations.
