WTC New York - Manhattan Skyscraper Building Design

World Trade Center New York "9/11 - Ten Years On : CTBUH Reflections" In the week that we mark the tenth anniversary of the 9/11 events and the collapse of the World Trade Center towers, the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat has commissioned a number of articles from industry leaders, reflecting on how the world of tall buildings has changed since then. What has been the direct impact of 9/11 on the typology? How has that impact varied with geography and culture around the world? What has become of the predictions of the end of the skyscraper typology which immediately followed the event? Has too much changed, or too little? 9/11 - BBC Link guided tour + zoomable image from Mar 2011 New York World Trade Center - external link The new World Trade Center Towers, within the Manhattan skyline: image : Foster + Partners Contributors include Leslie Robertson, William Baker, Eugene Kohn, Paul Goldberger, Gene Corley and others.
