New Plan Unveiled for W.T.C. Memorial

The names of the dead would be inscribed above ground, not around the pools below, as many of their relatives have demanded. But roaring waterfalls would still cascade into the pools, at the bottom of two enormous voids reflecting the absence of the twin towers.

The reconceived World Trade Center memorial and museum, unveiled today after weeks of anxious anticipation, tries to solve security problems, placate disaffected family members and, most of all, bring the project close to the $500 million budget cap set by Gov. George E. Pataki and Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg.
