  The Eternal Flame
- Robert So Nutley, New Jersey

My vision is for one large building with four wings of equal size to honor those that died; those that served; those that survived; and those that will forever mourn.

The building will reflect New York City in its dark glass facade and will integrate the old as well as the modern aspects of architectural design.

The main entrance lobby (pictured, bottom) should have a peaceful feeling of entering into a sacred place enhanced by interior fountains and soaring open spaces.

Highlighted will be stained glass windows visually depicting the heroic deeds associated with the attack, which will be chosen from the myriad of pictures that recorded the event.

The top of the building will carry an eternal flame and house an interfaith church/memorial/meditation area, surrounded by an observation deck.
