Focusing at length on some of the most important of these contributions, it sets out to analyse and elaborate on them in a broader framework, namely what one may learn from these attacks about architecture, particularly concerning its representational function, and more generally regarding its ethical, social and political implications.10 pagesPdfenArt Historical Work Group of South AfricaArchitectureSeptember 11 Terrorist Attacks, 2001Political aspects of architectureEthical function of architectureWorld Trade CentreRepresentational function of architectureSocial aspects of architecture9/11September 11 Terrorist Attacks, 2001 -- InfluenceNationalism and architectureArchitecture and societyArchitecture -- Human factorsSymbolism in architecture -- United StatesIdentity (Psychology) in architectureSymbolism in architecture -- United StatesArchitecture -- Political aspects -- United StatesArchitecture -- Moral and ethical aspects -- United StatesArchitecture -- United States -- History -- 21st centuryArticle
