1. What are some things you learned about the materials (e.g., glass, concrete, steel) used for re-building ground zero.
What I learned was that for the glass they were making it more thicker so it wouldn't be able to brake. And for the concrete they use that to make the building so the building can be stronger and be able to take anything when it gets hit. They also used the steel to make the building more harder and stronger.
2. What were some of the challenges that the builders faced when creating the new WTC building and memorial fountains?
What was some of the challenges was when they were making the glass because they had never made glass so thick and strong. And sometimes it was hard because the glass would brake and then they would have to restart. Another challenge was that they had to create the memorial fountains before the 10 anniversary. Another one was having to put the concrete on the same measurement in order for it to be correct.
3. What does the design of the WTC symbolize? What does the design of the memorial fountains symbolize?What WTC symbolize is for World Tray Center. It's symbolizes the 9/11 attack. The memorial symbolizes the memories of people lives being taken away from them. And the time when it happened.
4. How will this video affect your memorial design? How it will affect it is by me being creative as them. For example: Building the building in a new way and making it more stronger and safer for those who are in there.
Nice work. For number 3, where are the fountains located? Why? How tall is One World Trade Center going to be? Why?
ReplyDeleteThe fountains are located where the old twin towers used to stand. It was put there because they wanted to follow the footsteps of the twin towers for memories of the people lives. It is 17,076 feet tall.They are making it that tall to symbolize the twin towers. =)
