CASE STUDY

LIBERTY PARK
GREEN WALL
BRINGS A
MEASURE OF
SERENITY TO
9/11 SITE
BY JOYCE MCLEAN, ASSOCIATE EDITOR

A well-established fact is
that plants are known to
bring serenity and promote
well-being in people. Known
as biophilia, what better
place to use that knowledge
than at the now opened
World Trade Centre's
Liberty Park - part of the
memorial for the September
11, 2001 World Trade
Center victims in lower
Manhattan, New York.
LIVING ARCHITECTURE MONITOR / SUMMER 2018 / 22

T

he green wall is designed to
bring tranquility to a griefriddled space and to foster
rebirth in lower Manhattan
while acknowledging the devastation of 9/11.
On June 29, 2016, Plant
Connection Inc. unveiled their
patented G-O2 living wall system that took about three years
with expertise from architects,
engineers, landscape architects,
horticulturalists and designers to
plan, design, engineer and install,
in an understandably highly

scrutinized environment.
The park itself, designed by
landscape architect Joseph E.
Brown for the New York Port
Authority, is a one acre elevated
space that takes a page from the
nearby iconic High Line. The
park features many trees, shrubs,
perennials and unique seating
that provides a place for visitors
to relax, reflect and re-imagine
amidst the bustling scene of
lower Manhattan. An enormous
sculpture sits atop the green
roof. Called "The Sphere" by
