How High-Rise Building Structure & Design Changed After 9/11
The attacks on September 11, 2001 drastically affected the way we go about our everyday lives, including how we construct and design our buildings. The collapse of the World Trade Center’s Twin Towers raised a lot of questions around structural engineering and architecture, specifically about how we could better provide protection against catastrophic events in the future. On this eighteenth anniversary of the attacks, we continue to remember those we lost and work to prevent an event as tragic as 9/11 from ever happening again.
