Spirited Work 2001=>Weathering the Storm > Here is what the chief architect said of his creation:
>
> I feel this way about it. World trade means world peace and consequently
the
> World Trade Center buildings in New York … had a bigger purpose than
just
> to provide room for tenants. The World Trade Center is a living symbol of
> man’s dedication to world peace … beyond the compelling need to make
this
> a monument to world peace, the World Trade Center should, because of its
> importance, become a representation of man’s belief in humanity, his need
> for individual dignity, his beliefs in the cooperation of men, and through
> cooperation, his ability to find greatness.
> – Minoru Yamasaki, chief architect of the World Trade Center
