"[In] the aftermath of the explosions, the two artists conceived a new art project called 'Phantom Towers'...They imagined two powerful beams rising from a reflecting pool, refilling the void left by the twin towers with incandescence... The artists intend this as an ephemeral monument, occupying the hole in the skyline until rebuilding can get under way." A digital presentation of the design is featured on the cover of the September 23rd issue of The New York Times Magazine.
