 1973 / 2014

No building sums up the spirit of New York and the United States more than the World Trade Center—both the original structure and its new replacement.  The story of the buildings is a tale of visionary men, technical prowess, and good old-fashioned New York bravado.  

Please join us for a fascinating lecture that explores corporate America, power and wealth, and architects concerned with beauty and cutting-edge technology.

Dr. Seth Gopin is a researcher-in-residence in the Wertheim Study and was the associate dean and director of Global Programs at Rutgers University.  Following a 27-year career at Rutgers University, he served as the editor of newsTibet, the official voice of the Tibetan Government-in-Exile.  Dr. Gopin writes and lectures on the American skyscraper, and is particularly interested in the skyscraper as an iconic image for American popular culture.
