What can an architectural class investigate and produce that can possibly address the void left by recent events? How can we overcome the profound impotence this tragedy has instilled in ourselves and in any creative act? The third year graduate architecture studio of Cal Poly Pomona—beginning two weeks after the event—voted unanimously to investigate these and other issues by directly confronting the potential paralysis (or worse, denial) that this situation has produced through the only means available to them—creative action. In the course of ten weeks, the sudents proposed a myriad of masterplan options and potential uses for the site, along with specifc architectural proposals. This compilation of their work is a gift to you, and a tribute to the future.
