To commemorate the seventh anniversary of 9/11, this issue of e-Oculus includes articles, news items, and commentary on some of the events and developments at Ground Zero. Be sure to check out “9/11 Remembered,” the third annual installment by photographer Frank Ritter, who attended the ceremonies and documented the day.

Note: In the Summer 2008 Design Awards issue of OCULUS, Farnaz Mansuri, Assoc. AIA, was inadvertently omitted as a De-Spec Inc. design team member in the credits for the Interiors Honor project Banchet Flowers (page 22). In the same issue, Gary Haney should have been included on the Skidmore, Owings & Merrill team for Project Merit winner Al Rajhi Bank Headquarters (page 36).

Be sure to check it out regularly and contribute to the dialogue.
Some of the recent debates include:
