Couverture rigide. Condition: Neuf. Dust Jacket Condition: Neuf. 1ère Édition. Paris 2007. 1 volume/1. -- NEUF -- Reliure éditeur cartonnée sous jaquette illustrée. Fromat oblong 37,5 x 20,5 cm ( 1355 gr ). ------- 168 pages et très nombreuses photos et croquis . **************** "" Plus qu'un reportage sur les attentats du 11 septembre, cet ouvrage se veut d'abord et avant tout une approche complète du phénomène architectural, urbanistique et sociologique qu'ont représenté le World Trade Center et les Twin Towers. Phares dorés de Manhattan à la fin du XXe siècle et symboles du triomphe technologique et financier américain, ces tours entrent dans un processus d'urbanisation, d'émulation des gratte-ciel à Manhattan qui a débuté au début du XXe siècle, avec entre autres l'Empire State Building. Dans une première partie, l'ouvrage étudie le contexte socio-économique et les prouesses technologiques de l'urbanisation du secteur sud de Manhattan, au cur de la " course vers le ciel " depuis cent ans. Un second chapitre est consacré au chantier proprement dit des Twin Towers : des étapes du plan et de la construction par Minoru Yamasaki en 1971 à la révolution dont elles sont le produit en terme de technologie et de design. La fortune de ces tours dans la presse et le cinéma est ensuite abordée, puis leur rôle comme nouveau cur du complexe financier américain à la fin du XXe siècle, durant trente années, pendant lesquelles elles ont contribué à revitaliser le sud de Manhattan en devenant le symbole du capitalisme occidental. Une dernière section restitue enfin comment a été détruite cette architecture qui semblait à tous invincible et le vide urbanistique que creusent ces ruines dans le quartier. Ce livre complet sur l'aventure architecturale et financière du sud de Manhattan, du début du XXe siècle à l'érection des tours du World Trade Center, puis à leur destruction, est complété de plans, de maquettes et de photographies du chantier : il restitue, à travers 200 illustrations en couleurs, la vie du cur de la puissance financière américaine durant trente ans.
