Yamasaki’s Bank of Oklahoma Tower

Thursday, 27th November 2008

Yamasaki’s Bank of Oklahoma tower, which is a virtual 1:2 scaled version of one of the World Trade Center towers. Completed three years after the WTC, the facade is virtually identical to the towers in New York. However, the resolution at the ground level is not as sophisticated as the WTC’s with solid circular arches replacing the gothic arches formed by the warping of the facade system in NY.
