“Architecture starts when you carefully put two bricks together. There it begins.” — Ludwig Mies van der Rohe
David Rockwell Speaks At TED
Here is the description for the lecture given by Rockwell from the TED website:
“In this emotionally charged conversation with journalist Kurt Andersen, designer David Rockwell recounts the process of constructing an elegantly understated viewing platform at Ground Zero shortly after 9/11. Collaborating closely with what he describes as a “design SWAT team” of other New York-based architects and designers, including Richard Scofidio, Elizabeth Diller and Kevin Keenan, the result was a quiet, dignified, powerful memorial that was, most important, entirely appropriate for its surroundings.”
