For builders and designers, the collapse of the World Trade Center has led to a trouble sense of culpability.
"'We've just added a whole list of demands on architecture that didn't exist before. Every architect will be affected by [the attacks] and have to reevaluate what's important,' said Alexander M. Ward, director of design for the Leo A Daly firm, which is working on Los Angeles' new cathedral and renovating the international terminal at LAX.While much attention has focused on rebuilding lower Manhattan, the aftershocks of the attacks are being felt thousands of miles away. 'The effect is global," said architect Daniel Libeskind of Berlin. "'New buildings will hold memories of these acts, whether it is the position of a window or how a building is sited.'"
