ABSTRACT
Believing in the concept of world trade, Japanese architect Minoru Yamasaki designed New York’s World Trade Center to be a living symbol of humankind’s dedication to international cooperation and peace. “The World Trade Center should,” Yamasaki said, “because of its importance, become a living representation of man’s belief in humanity, his need for individual dignity, his belief in the cooperation of men, and through this cooperation his ability to find greatness” (Heyer, 1966).
