Название: NYC - Battery Park City: Esplanade - New York City Police Memorial The design of the Stuart Crawford’s 1997 Police Memorial is composed of two distinct parts using water as a metaphor. A fountain serves as the genesis of the memorial and represents the rookie police officer's first day while a linear flume acts as the time line of the officer's career. Water flows gently over the spit face bottom of the flume leading to a slot in the granite wall. Finally the water comes to rest in a shallow pool marking the police officer's death. The death of the police officer is commemorated in an outdoor room defined by two parallel granite walls and depressed thirty inches below the esplanade. A wall along the western edge holds the names of the officers and dates on which they were killed. Constructed of green granite, the stone is rendered with a split face finish facing outward and polished surface facing inward reinforcing the sacred nature of the space. Outside the room three flagpoles stand as sentinels. Stuart Crawford has received the AlA Award for Excellence in the Study of Architecture and the Edward D. Stone Award for Excellence in Design. Crawford was chosen to design the Police Memorial from 180 submissions in an open design competition.
