Project Rebirth

It has been a little more three years since the events of 9/11 so dramatically affected the lives of New Yorkers, and of course, of most Americans as well. While reconstruction and a rejuvenation of that part of Lower Manhattan continues apace, Project Rebirth has been documenting this process with time-lapse motion picture cameras since six months after 9/11. After this fairly ambitious project is completed, the resulting product will enable the public to view the entire reconstruction within a 20-minute time span. The project was envisioned by Jim Whitaker, the president of Imagine Entertainment, and full details about him and his colleagues in this endeavor can be perused on the site. The site also has substantial material in the form of a project journal that documents the process through words and photographs taken at various intervals. “The Rebuild” section of this site is a great place to read details about the engineering, architecture, and urban planning that is part of the site’s ongoing rebirth. One particularly interesting feature is a question-and-answer session with Kevin Rampe, president of the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation, which is the entity established in November 2001 to coordinate the rebuilding of the site.
