图书简介
In the shape of one of the fallen Twin Towers, this stirring tribute to the World Trade Center celebrates its origins and short but spectacular life as a fulcrum for business and a beacon of optimism to people everywhere. It then, poignantly, documents the tragedy of the Center’s era-shattering demolition and, concludes with a sparkling preview of the future of the site, from which the phoenix will soon rise from the ashes of Ground Zero to stand as a symbol of peace and resilience. The book begins by setting the stage for the development of the Lower Manhattan site in the 1960s. Thought to be an economic gamble, the Center quickly became the bustling heart of a business, commercial and tourist center, an exciting city-within-a-city unmatched in world history. Minoru Yamasaki’s architectural plans as well as period black-and-white photographs depict the project’s exegesis and evolution. The narrative moves on to show that while the Center emerged as a symbol of power and purpose, its preeminence inspired ominous fantasies about urban destruction in popular culture, most dramatically in movie depictions of predators wreaking havoc on New York. Through maps, sketches, and photographs of the leading figures involved in the site’s rebirth, readers will be drawn into the beating heart of New York, a city that never gives up and is successfully reinventing itself in a yet more vibrant and thriving form.
