9/11 Memorial: Name Placement Based on Clever Algorithm →
Linda Tischler, Co. Design:
When the National September 11 Memorial opens this fall … friends’ names will be inscribed next to each other on the granite wall surrounding the Memorial Garden’s fountains.
Their adjacency is product of a masterful bit of programming undertaken by the New York media design firm Local Projects, which took 1,800 requests from families of the 3,500 9/11 victims, and created an algorithm that let them be grouped by affinity: firefighters with firefighters, cops with cops, all the members of each of the flights, first responders, or just pals.
Hoping to visit this memorial (or at least get close to it) later today.
