The New York Post has an inspirational article today by Leonard Greene ("WTC's Place of Peace,") about the 9/11 Memorial Plaza. In the story, Matthew Donham, a partner in the architectural firm that helped with the design, remarks about the twin reflecting pools: "We describe these as voids. The idea was to make an absence that was visible."

Also explained: visitors will be able to search the nearly 3,000 names of the deceased ("etched in bronze on the memorial pools and illuminated in a soothing light") by using a special iPhone app created for that purpose.
