Lower Manhattan was home for many years so this week always hits a little different. I've found myself thinking about the many times I've passed by the 9/11 Memorial & Museum Reflecting Pools with my family and yet it was just this last month that my kids (almost 10 & 7) paused to ask what they were about. It has sparked deep reflections on the power of intentional design in fostering belonging. The memorial itself is a masterclass in creating a space that welcomes, connects, and provides solace to visitors from all walks of life. I was particularly moved to learn about James Maroon, whose nightly dedication to the 9/11 Memorial epitomizes this concept of "designing for belonging." Eight hours a night, five days a week, James meticulously tends to the memorial, ensuring this sacred space is perfect for the next day's visitors. James's work goes beyond maintenance; it's a crucial part of the memorial's design for belonging. By preserving the dignity and accessibility of the space, he ensures that every visitor—regardless of their background or connection to the events of 9/11—can find a place for reflection, connection, and remembrance. As I guide my children through understanding the significance of the 9/11 Memorial, I'm reminded of the paramount importance of designing for belonging in all aspects of our lives. Whether it's a national monument or a summer camp, the principle remains the same: intentional design can create spaces where everyone feels valued, respected, and part of something greater than themselves. #DesigningForBelonging #InclusiveSpaces #CommunityDesign
