• Sommario/riassunto: "In more than 150 photographs, drawings, and plans--most never seen by the public--Judith Dupré shares the background on the rise of the building. One World Trade Center showcases the skyscraper's groundbreaking design and engineering, from the initial excavation to the final placement of the spire and captures the hope, resiliency, and pride of those who built it. The book has in-depth explorations of the innovations, including a 360 degree view from the One World Observatory."--
