Who Built Them?

Back in 1960, The New York and New Jersey Port Authority decided to use the 16 acre plot to build a commerce centre for the NYC/Northern New Jersey area. They contacted a number of architecture firms and tendered designs.

Minoru Yamasaki (1912-1986), born in Seattle to Japanese parents, was chosen to create the multi-building World Trade Center.

It stood for 31 years.
