All The Names: Arranging the 2,982 Names on the 9/11 Memorial
In his blog post titled “All The Names: Algorithmic Design and the 9/11 Memorial”, Jer Thorpe meticulously describes his design process to arrange the 2,982 names on the 9/11 memorial to be built in Manhattan. According to Michael Arad’s vision for the memorial, the layout of the names should be designed according to where people were, and who they were with, when they died.
