In 1972 Yamasaki´s Pruitt Igoe Modern Building was collapse because it failed in its objective of being the perfect model to live.

Charles Jenks wrote about this as the dead of Modern Architecture and the bigining of a new time: Post-Modernism.

In 2001 two airplines crashed with the WTC making them collapse. Many critics around the world wrote about it as a change in the paradigm.

Both buildings were built by the same architect.
