Architect who designed world trade center in new york
The original World Trade Center (WTC) in New York City was designed by architect Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) in collaboration with engineer Leslie E. Robertson. The complex was designed in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and it was completed in 1973.
The lead architect on the project was:
- Minoru Yamasaki (1912-1986): A Japanese-American architect who was the founder of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill's New York City office. Yamasaki was responsible for the overall design of the World Trade Center, including the Twin Towers, which were the iconic 110-story towers that stood at the heart of the complex.
Other key architects and engineers involved in the design of the World Trade Center included:
- Emery Roth & Sons: A New York City-based architectural firm that designed the World Trade Center's main buildings, including the Twin Towers, the World Trade Center Mall, and the World Trade Center Transportation Hub.
- Leslie E. Robertson: A structural engineer who worked with SOM to design the structural system for the Twin Towers.
- Skidmore, Owings & Merrill's New York City office: The firm's office was responsible for the overall design and engineering of the World Trade Center complex.
The new World Trade Center complex, which was rebuilt after the 9/11 attacks, was designed by a team of architects and engineers led by:
- Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM): The firm was responsible for the overall design and engineering of the new World Trade Center complex, including the One World Trade Center (also known as the Freedom Tower), the National September 11 Memorial & Museum, and the World Trade Center Transportation Hub.
- David Childs: An American architect who was the lead designer on the One World Trade Center project.
- Daniel Libeskind: A Polish-American architect who was the lead designer on the National September 11 Memorial & Museum project.
