There’s an excellent post titled “When Design is a Matter of Life or Death” written by Michael Bierut over on Design Observer (Link) telling the story of the Citicorp Center Tower, it’s flawed design, and what was done to correct a monumental mistake.
What a great read for a designer at the end of a long work week. For anyone. It’s always nice to keep things in perspective and this piece certainly goes a long way toward providing us all with some assistance in doing just that.
