The Twin Towers of the World Trade Center were a symbol of New York City - of its dynamic energy and vital importance in international commerce. Thousands of lives were lost when the towers were destroyed on September 11th, 2001. This book pays homage to the creative talent that made possible this extraordinary structure by showing a huge selection of photographs of the Twin Towers from their building to their tragic destruction, and looks to the future in a hopeful way by going beyond the catastrophe to show the future prospects for Ground Zero and the architectural projects that will bring new life to the entire area.
