Today, at the National Convention of of American Institute of Architects, the AIA honors The Architects of Healing. When Milena and Paul Murdoch explained aspects of their winning Flight 93 National Memorial design to family members in 2005 (see photo), they knew the type of emotional journey they were taking.
"I've seen through the process how powerful a vision can be -- and how challenging it can be to carry that vision through a process," says Paul Murdoch in an AIA video. "It's worth it. It's worth that effort."

- Daniel Libeskind, FAIA, Freedom Tower
