Abstract
7 World Trade Center was the third building to collapse on September 11, 2001, and is the first building to be rebuilt. Designed by David Childs of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, the new building is comprised of 42 floors of office space set above eight floors of electrical transformers in large concrete vaults at street level. James Carpenter Design Associates was asked to collaborate with Skidmore Owings Merrill on the design of the building’s curtain wall, the base of the building containing the electrical transformers, and the building’s lobby.
