This is a working proposal for an intended World Fountain & 9-11 Memorial to be completed in 2012.
It will be a public plaza on the front lawn of Fire Station #32 on US Highway 1, in Hobe Sound, Florida.
Design elements include:
1. A WTC artifact (Piece # G-0073) released from the NY/NJ Port Authority, at the triangle point.
2. Three fountains to honor each of the geographic sites affected by the events of September 11, 2001.
This water feature mirrors the multitude of symbolic facets associated with this life-giving element; as a fundamental tool of firemen, addresses the tears from that day’s sorrow, invokes ongoing remembrance with its continuity of flow, and refreshes our spirits with its elegant representation of hope springing eternal.
3. A terrazzo world map mosaic embedded with an actual stone received from each of the 192 sovereign nations on the planet.
The Map's particular contiguous configuration is based on Buckminster Fuller's Dymaxion Map and reminds us of how this was a global event which forever changed the way we view our inter-connectness.
The inclusion of the actual stones creates a space where the entire world is truly represented in one place!
