9/11’s “Tower of Voices”, remembering the 40 heroes 20 years later

Paul Murdoch Architects

The “Tower of Voices” stands solemnly at the resolute Flight 93 National Memorial, the first 21st century national park located in Shanksville, Pennsylvania nestled in the Allegheny Mountains. The crash site of United Flight 93 on September 11, 2001 is being remembered on its 20-year anniversary. The 93-feet tall musical monument represents the flight number and its 40 wind chimes represent the 40 crew and passenger members on the plane who died as heroes that day.

The design competition called for proposals that considered design and construction. MARU.architecture’s winning proposal viewed the site as a unique project condition. They placed the library in the water. The proposal won for its creativity and rationalization of construction process and budget.
