David M. Childs, Architect of 1 World Trade Center, Dies at 83
The antithesis of a “starchitect,” he didn’t have a recognizable style. But as a partner at Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, he helped transform the New York skyline.

Dare I say, scrape them
Dare I say, scrape them
just remember one thing: the original WTC towers collapsed on 9/11 because the original architects were forced to SAVE MONEY
so they used the curtainwall design with the central core, making the buildings weaker than a full steel frame would be
plus making them deathtraps if there was a major fire
i wonder what Childs did to save money in the new building.........
you can thank larry silverstein if the new one collapses or burns
