He later joined a firm in Detroit. He married three times,and after his 3ed divorce, remarried his first wife.<BR/><BR/>Along with the twin towers, he also designed everything from Airports in Saudi Arabia, a Synagogues in Birmingham, AL, and Glenco Ill, the Century Plaza Towers and Hotel in L.A. CA, the old Eastern Terminal for Boston's Logan Airport, and for THREE buildings in Seattle. They are The US Science Pavilion (now the Pacific Science Center) in 1962, the IBM Building at 4th and University in 1964, and the Rainier Tower in 1977(the building kitty-corner to the IBM building with the 11 story pedestal). The IBM Building is very similar is look to the twin towers, as are features of the Rainier Tower.<BR/><BR/>I am told (but have not been able to substantiate) that the marble staircase found in the IBM building is the largest free standing marble staircase ever carved.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23860865.post-19470127413515399192008-02-27T07:17:00.000-08:002008-02-27T07:17:00.000-08:00It looks very futuristic so he captured the 21st C...It looks very futuristic so he captured the 21st Century well especially for this to date back to 1960's.
