ABSTRACT

AS THE RECOVERY OPERATION PROGRESSED AND CLEARING OF THE SITE BECAME THE FOCUS OF ENERGY, WE WERE APPROACHED BY A LOCAL BUILDER TO SUGGEST A FORM OF TEMPORARY ENCLOSURE FOR THE SITE. This was meant to physically protect the public from the perilous process underway, to cordon the workplace from intrusion, and to — in some way—provide for the very large numbers of people who were pressing to visit Ground Zero.
