A museum building is being constructed at the site where the World Trade Center (WTC) towers once stood to mark the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 incident in 2011. On Tuesday, September 9, 2008, the builders of the museum building unveiled the design for its entrance pavilion, whose façade evoked the memory of the twin towers. The three-storey, asymmetrical glass and steel building is the final piece of the three-hectare memorial plaza at the World Trade Center site.

 

Architect Craig Dykers revealed that it is the former WTC towers that provided him inspiration for the reflective steel façade. He informed that a very fetching feature of this building is that its appearance will keeping changing as natural hits it at different points of the day. 'At times, you'll see yourself in the building,' Dykers said. The architect described the building not as an object, but 'an experience'. The building features a sloping atrium that will shine light down a staircase leading to the September 11 museum.
