The foundation overseeing the design of the future Global War on Terrorism Memorial on the National Mall in Washington has unveiled the first renderings of what the site will look like. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crafted by architect Kengo Kuma<\/a> in partnership with the Global War on Terrorism Memorial Foundation, the memorial\u2019s design is the culmination of eight years of input from 20,000 Americans, including veterans from every branch of service and every conflict since World War II, according to a foundation release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the memorial\u2019s description, visitors will first encounter steel and stone relics recovered from the 9\/11 attacks at each of the site\u2019s three entrances, \u201cmarking where the journey began,\u201d the release states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a primary section coined \u201cthe embrace,\u201d a classically inspired amphitheater rises over the path below and features an arch made of reclaimed steel from the era\u2019s combat operations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The arch, which will also be adorned with native vegetation, is designed to filter light and will be oriented to align with Section 60 in Arlington National Cemetery, the resting place of roughly 1,000 service members killed in the post-9\/11 wars. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below the arch, a predominantly marble \u201cpath of honor\u201d includes embedded boot prints \u201cthat represent the weight of war and the varied experiences of those who served and their families,\u201d the release says. The path will also connect to adjacent memorials on the National Mall. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Extending from the footprint paths are shallow reflecting pools in which visitors can dip their feet before stepping back onto the stone to leave footprints of their own, an \u201cinteractive component [that] offers visitors the chance to walk alongside a loved one once more,\u201d the foundation says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis design was shaped by history and held sacred from the beginning \u2014 forged by sacrifice and informed by the voices of warriors and their families,\u201d Michael \u201cRod\u201d Rodriguez, president and CEO of the Global War on Terrorism Memorial Foundation and a retired U.S. Army Green Beret, said in the release. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThroughout history, societies have built sacred places to welcome their warriors home, places where a grateful people can say, \u2018We see you. We honor you. You are not forgotten.\u2019\u201d Rodriguez added. \u201cThe GWOT generations deserve that same enduring tribute. Today, we take one step closer to welcoming them home.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to input gathered since 2018, a 23-member advisory council comprising Gold Star family members, veterans and their families worked alongside designers to craft what the foundation has called a \u201cliving place … that will illuminate at night and invite reflection, healing and unity for generations to come.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the site\u2019s architect, Kuma\u2019s work on the memorial resonated on a deeply personal level, he said in a recent interview<\/a>. The artist lost his close friend Yoichi Sugiyama<\/a>, who worked for Fuji Bank, in the Sept. 11 attack at the World Trade Center. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis memorial is not an abstract commission for our team, it is a sacred responsibility,\u201d Kuma said in the release. \u201cOur role was not to impose a design, but to listen. The voices of those who served and the families who stood beside them became our source of inspiration. We wanted to create a place of reflection and connection, a living memorial where nature, light and the materials of this war come together as an embrace for a grateful nation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Foundation officials are slated to meet over the coming months with various city planning commissions to finalize design approval, according to the foundation\u2019s proposed timeline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With approval, the foundation is aiming for a 2027 groundbreaking and a project completion date of late 2028. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
