On this episode of The Â鶹´«Ã½¸ßÇåion Record Podcast, digital media editor Warren Frey speaks with Â鶹´«Ã½¸ßÇåConnect director of news media Vince Versace on the 23rd anniversary of 9/11 about how the subsequent study of the tragedy led to new designs and building practices.
Vince explained how new forms of egress were adopted in tall buildings in order to facilitate evacuations, how construction moved away from the “core pillar†design of the Twin Towers and improved resiliency not only against a hostile attack but other stressors.
Another change was adoption across the world of more uniform building codes and improvement of those codes to ensure such an event doesn’t happen again. As climate change continues to stress-test cities and buildings across the world, Vince speculated similar sharing might occur to improve resiliency of built forms.
