At a Glance
Rising from the literal ashes of the attacks of September 11, 2001, the rebuilding of the new World Trade Center is meant to serve as a symbol of regeneration and resolve. This complex in Lower Manhattan, rewoven from the once-devastated 16 acres back into the vitality of New York City, is a compelling story of overcoming challenges from engineering to financial and from territorial to political. Join lecturer John Kriskewicz to explore the architecture of this still-evolving district.
