The Twin Towers of the World Trade Center were designed by architect Minoru Yamasaki, with structural engineering by Leslie E. Robertson Associates. They featured a unique "tube" structure, which utilized a reinforced concrete core and a lightweight, flexible outer shell of steel columns, allowing for large open floor spaces. The design emphasized both aesthetics and functionality, incorporating a minimalist approach with a focus on height and the iconic silhouette of the towers. Additionally, the towers incorporated advanced safety features for their time, including fireproofing and emergency evacuation systems.
