KEITH MOSKOW

Architect Moskow has createda lasting imprint onLogan International Airportwith the newly opened 9/11memorial. The design byMoskow and partner RobertLinn of Boston's MoskowLinn Architects has been likenedto a glass chapel, and itbested nearly 40 submissionsin a contest sponsored by theMassachusetts Port Authority(Massport). "The two hijackedflights flown into the TwinTowers departed from Logan,"says Moskow, who has' three children with wife Allison J Shufz Moskow '85. "Everyonefrom baggage handlers tothe top Massport official felta connection to this horribleevent. Our challenge was torecognize what happened on9/11 and do it in a way thatvisitors will hopefully leavefeeling better."

I The focal point of the 2-acre park is "Place of Remembrance," a 400-squarefoot glass enclosure with what he calls a "fractured sky"—a mosaic of glass pieces suspended from wires—overhead. Two paths, representing the two flights, rise through the grass to the glass structure. "Most memorials descend down, but this one takes you up to a different elevation," says Moskow. "We wanted to take people closer to the sky in the hope that they will feel uplifted."
