"It has now been three years since the most devastating attack ever on U.S. soil, and just as shattered psyches and lives are beginning to reveal the slightest signs of healing, so too has the rebuilding process at Ground Zero begun to show incipient marks of progress."

In a special feature on Ground Zero, architects from across the world offer their opinions on the current planning process as well as give their own ideas concerning the rebuilding of the WTC.

Also in this article is a stunning interactive map detailing the WTC site as seen from an ariel perspective.
