Today I watched an episode of Steven Spielberg’s 6-episode Rising: Rebuilding Ground Zero, a documentary on the rebuilding effort of the World Trade Center. Each episode centers on a component of the new 16-acre site. It brought me back memories when I first saw it as a high-school kid and was fascinated by the cool 3D visualizations that dbox rendered. In rewatching the episode, I felt a passion for building that I have not felt in a while. I reconnected with that teenage dream of becoming an architect of skyscrapers. This is what led me in a path of applying to colleges in the United States, and my drive to live in New York City.
