In the heart of Manhattan, September 11, a phoenix-like new
fabric structure rose above Ground Zero.

Tentnology® created this tensile structure as a dramatic sculpted canopy for the World Trade Centre PATH Subway entrance, first structure up on WTC 9/11 site NYC, located directly in front of the Millennium Hilton Hotel. Tightly scheduled to be erected right on time for September 11th memorial services, this high-tech structure conveys optimism & a new departure.
