MTA STATION WORLD TRADE CENTER, CORTLANDT STREET,<br />

NEW YORK, USA<br />

Seventeen years after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, the<br />

destroyed Cortlandt Street subway station was one of the last pieces of<br />

infrastructure to be restored. On the walls is a marble mosaic by artist<br />

Ann Hamilton, with texts from the Declaration of Independence and the<br />

United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights. A coat of KEIM<br />

Soldalit-ME, a photocatalytically effective high-performance coating to<br />

reduce air pollutants, ensures better air quality.<br />
