Edward Keegan: How architecture changed after 9/11 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Architecture provides the background for most human activity, but buildings were very much in the foreground on Sept. 11, 2001. When the World Trade Center towers fell on live television that day, they were — and remain — the two tallest buildings to ever disappear from any city’s skyline. Immediately after, there was much speculation about whether we would continue to build tall buildings.

Read excerpt

It was developed by DL3 Realty as part of the Invest South/West initiative that was launched by then-Mayor Lori Lightfoot and then-Department of Planning and Development
