On November 19, 2003, the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation unveiled 8 finalist designs for the World Trade Center Memorial. The memorial is intended to be the focus of Daniel Libeskind's Memory Foundations master plan for the redevelopment of the World Trade Center site.
The World Trade Center Memorial is to be located within the slurry wall that once framed the Twin Towers, and is also framed by a museum and cultural facilities along the periphery of the site. (Some of the finalists suggest changes to Libeskind's plan, which continues to evolve as reconstruction progresses).
The eight selected finalists were mostly young, unknown designers from the United States, France, and Israel. They are:
- Votives in Suspension by Norman Lee and Michael Lewis - Houston TX
- Lower Waters by Bradley Campbell and Matthias Neumann - Brooklyn NY
- Passages of Light : Memorial Cloud by Gisela Baurmann, Sawad Brooks and Jonas Coersmeier - New York NY
- Suspending Memory by Joseph Karadin with Hsin-Yi Wu - New York NY
- Garden of Lights by Pierre David with Sean Corriel and Jessica Kmetovic - Paris, France
- Reflecting Absence by Michael Arad - New York NY
- Dual Memory by Brian Strawn and Karla Sierralta - Chicago IL
- Inversion of Light by Toshio Sasaki - Brooklyn NY
