SYMBOLS OF SACRIFICE

So, what's the real meaning behind the Crescent of Embrace? Are the architects honest in their intentions of the Flight 93 memorial, or is it another sign of multiculturalism? After reading the following statement by the principal architect, Paul Murdoch, I guess you could fear the worst motif. [Via Sisu.]

A primary task of this generation is to create new patterns of development that sustain human habitation on this planet. Towards this end, the principles adopted for our practice are intended to ensure that each project contributes to an overall goal of environmental responsibility while striving for design excellence. (PaulMurdochArchitects.com, 1991.)
