After September 11, 2001, public interest in the future of New York City buildings increased, especially concerning the future of the World Trade Center site. Representatives of the new Center say the tendency to rebuild great communication between the architectural, engineering, planning and building communities is like never before, and they hope the Center will provide a forum for more interaction.
