“An Interview With World Trade Center Memorial Juror James Young.” Architectural Record 21 January 2004. In an interview published in the Architectural Record in January 2004, James Young, Professor and Chair of the Department of Judaic & Near Eastern Studies at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, cites the reasons for the recent selection of “Reflecting Absence” as the winner of the World Trade Center Memorial competition.
