There was much controversy over the building of the twin towers of the World Trade Center because
◦ they were seen as further secularizing the skyline.
◦ their style was seen as antithetical to the small-scale buildings and streets in the area in which they were built.
◦ they would not provide enough badly needed office space.
◦ they were designed by Minouri Yamasaki, who also designed the Pruitt-Igoe housing project.
