Model of World Trade Center by Minoru Yamasaki photographed by Jin Lee P for 9/11 Memorial Museum

A model of the World Trade Center created around 1964 by architect Minoru Yamasaki was documented in a photograph by Jin Lee P. This image is part of the collection at the 9/11 Memorial Museum. The original post about this work appeared on artcritical.com on July 24, 2014. Yamasaki's architectural design for the Twin Towers became an iconic part of New York City's skyline before their destruction in the 2001 terrorist attacks. The museum preserves artifacts and documentation related to the events of September 11, 2001, and the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. Jin Lee P's photograph captures Yamasaki's scaled representation of the complex. The model itself is constructed from various materials. This archival record contributes to the historical preservation efforts surrounding one of America's most significant modern tragedies.
