Curator's Comment
Arkady Zaltsman was an accomplished architect in his homeland of Moldova, where he helped design the country’s parliament building. After moving to Brooklyn in 1990, Arkady hoped to design buildings in the United States and make his mark on his new home. He “adored New York,” recalled his wife, Zhanna, and regularly took guests to gaze at the lower Manhattan skyline from his favorite walkway in Brooklyn Heights. In 1995, Arkady drafted this proposal as part of the competition to design the memorial at the site of the Oklahoma City bombing.
