Although
it is still hard to find the right words, on the advent of the first anniversary
of the September 11 terrorist attacks, we join the nation in remembrance.
We still mourn for the irreparable emptiness suffered by those who lost
loved ones, family, colleagues, friends. Yet intertwined we feel an ineffable
and deep thanksgiving for those who did survive and for all brave enough
to find the courage to go on and find a way to rebuild.
Looking back, we can feel great pride in reactions and actions of our profession, our components, and our professional colleagues. Hats off to the AIA New York Chapter; her members have proven their mettle in countless deeds of good will and public good. Looking ahead to the rebuilding, we all have a publicly mandated duty to keep on giving our best. In our hearts, we know we can and we shall.

Bruce Eisenberg, AIA, of the AIA New York Chapter took this photo shortly after 9 a.m., September 11, looking south from 6th Ave and W. 4th St in Greenwich Village seconds after the second plane hit. He was on a site visit. As part of its post-September 11 effort, the AIA became a founding member of The Infrastructure Security Partnership (TISP), a partnership with other public and private groups pledged to cooperate on security in the built environment. The group is hosting its first annual Congress on Infrastructure Security for the Built Environment, November 5–7 in Washington, D.C. Visit the TISP Web site for details. |
