Impact of Sept. 11 On Architectural Trends
A thoughful opinion by Mike Greenberg on the impact, if any, of September 11 on trends in architecture.
Times change and the World Trade Center towers represent a building style that is not likely to be replicated today. "We need an architecture that expresses where we are today - more complex in form, more layered and supple in surface, more engaged with the city, more extrovert and sociable, less symmetrical and programmed."
