The design links its rising helix to Shigeru Ban and the THINK Team’s unbuilt World Cultural Center proposal.

Field notes

The design narrative says the lights first gather in a rising helix, then assemble into the towers; it connects that form to the unbuilt World Cultural Center proposal by Shigeru Ban and the THINK Team. The listed collective includes FDNY responders and family members of people killed on 9/11. The press section reports coverage across 175+ countries and 19 languages, citing Meltwater Intelligence.
