Rebuilding Ground Zero [:

1. What are some of the things you learned about the materials ( example : glass  concrete, steel )used for re-building ground zero.
A: I learned that it is harder than most people thought to get all these thing created for the buildings. Like the concrete, the construction workers had to get the right amount of water in it and different stuff. f the measurement was a little bit off they have to start over. Also with the glass they take lots of tie making it and sometimes it breaks because they did something wrong after creating the glass for a very long time.

2. What were some of the challenges that the builders faced when creating the new World Trade Center building and memorial fountains ?
A: The challenges were that until they got it right they had to go through many wrongs and mistakes. For example the glass kept breaking but it showed them what they had to do to make the building perfect with the correct materials.

3. What does the design of the World Trade Center symbolize ? What does the design of the memorial fountains symbolize ?
A: The world trade center buildings are to represent the twin towers obviously. And also to have people come together as one and recognize the beauty of the buildings.

4. How will this video affect your memorial design ?
A: This video will help me a lot because it makes me think outside the box when it comes to the memorial buildings and to keep trying until you feel like you like your design.
