11th September 2001: the disaster and its urban consequences.

[Paul Clerkin]

Minoru Yamasaki was a very small man - only 5 feet one inch tall - who designed what were briefly the world’s tallest towers: New York’s World Trade Center. He also wrote, in 1979, that he saw the towers as “a physical expression of the universal effort of men to seek and achieve world peace.”
