The building was damaged during the collapse of the World Trade Center in September 2001. This slender rectilinear prism has a structural ratio of 1:12 between the horizontal and vertical edges. This taut black tinted glass curtain-wall is held by silicon adhesive and supported by invisible aluminum mullions. Its frameless windows blend harmoniously with its skin.
