Coinciding with the tenth anniversary of the fall of the Twin Towers in New York, the city is preparing the inauguration of the 9\/11 memorial<\/a> at ground zero.<\/p>\n

Dedicated to the victims of the attack, the structure designed by architects Michael Arad<\/a> and Peter Walker<\/a> consists of a tranquil, tree-lined area with two enormous waterfalls cascading into two square pools<\/a> located on the site of the former Twin Towers. Each pool<\/a> measures approximately 5,000 square meters and is surrounded by inscriptions bearing the names of the deceased. They are currently the tallest artificial waterfalls in North America. <\/p>\n

The plaza surrounding the waterfalls has been named one of the most ecological in the world because it has irrigation, rainwater and pest management systems that conserve energy and water.<\/p>\n

The space will be open to the public, but due to ongoing construction in the surrounding area, passes are required for entry. Reservations opened at 9:00 a.m. on July 11th, and more than 11,000 passes were reserved<\/a> within just a few hours. Even so, it is expected that once the novelty wears off, the memorial will become a peaceful haven for New Yorkers. <\/p>\n
