Leslie Robertson, Who Engineered the World Trade Center, Dies at 92

He remained proud of the towers, which stood long enough for thousands to escape on 9/11, but carried with him “a troubled heart.”

— By Fred A. Bernstein | February 11, 2021 | The New York Times

Leslie E. Robertson, the structural engineer of the World Trade Center, whose work came under intense scrutiny after the complex was destroyed in the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, died on Thursday at his home in San Mateo, Calif. He was 92.

The death was confirmed by his daughter Karla Mei Robertson. She said he had received a diagnosis of blood cancer a year ago.

Mr. Robertson designed the structural systems of several notable skyscrapers, including the Shanghai World Financial Center, a 101-story tower with a vast trapezoidal opening at its peak, and I.M. Pei’s Bank of China Tower in Hong Kong, a cascade of interlocking pyramids. His projects included bridges, theaters and museums, and he helped install sculptures by Richard Serra, some weighing as much as 20 tons.

But the project that came to define his career was the World Trade Center. He was in his early 30s and something of an upstart when he and his partner, John Skilling, were chosen to design the structural system for what were to be the time, at 110 stories, the world’s tallest buildings. He was in his 70s when the towers were destroyed.

Mr. Robertson, who had no experience with high-rises when he began working on the World Trade Center, recalled that Mr. Skilling had wanted him to team up with Anton Tedesko, “an older and more experienced man.” But Mr. Robertson refused, an “act of brinkmanship on my part,” he recalled in a memoir, “The Structure of Design: An Engineer’s Extraordinary Life in Architecture” (2017).

He had developed “a lot of good ideas for the project,” he wrote, “and didn’t want to have to turn to anyone for their filtering or further development.” With some reluctance, he recalled, Mr. Skilling agreed to let him run the project.

“The responsibility for the design ultimately rested with me,” Mr. Robertson told The New York Times Magazine after the towers were destroyed. He added: “I have to ask myself, Should I have made the project more stalwart? And in retrospect, the only answer you can come up with is, Yes, you should have.”

He conceded that he had not considered the possibility of fire raging through the buildings after a plane crash. But he also said that that was not part of the structural engineer’s job, which involves making sure that buildings resist forces like gravity and wind. “The fire safety systems in a building fall under the purview of the architect,” he said.

In an interview in 2009 in his Lower Manhattan office, Mr. Robertson wiped away tears as he recalled the victims of 9/11. He talked about the family members who had come to see him, hoping he could say something to help them with their grief. But he also said he was proud of the design of the twin towers.

The World Trade Center was first attacked by terrorists in 1993, when a bomb exploded in an underground parking garage. Six people died and more than 1,000 were injured. After that blast, which did no major damage to the buildings beyond the garage, Mr. Robertson made television appearances. “I felt that it was necessary to step forward and explain that the buildings were safe,” he said, “and I did that.”

The attack eight years later had a very different outcome.

Mr. Robertson was in Hong Kong when the buildings were hit by planes loaded with jet fuel. Members of his firm — including his wife, SawTeen See, also a structural engineer — watched the destruction from the windows of their offices just a few blocks away, at 30 Broad Street.

The design of the buildings was soon called into question. Until the World Trade Center was built, most skyscrapers were supported by simple steel or concrete frames. But that meant that interiors were interrupted by columns. For the Trade Center, architects and engineers, including Mr. Robertson, sought to create column-free expanses for commercial tenants.

He did that by making the towers giant steel tubes, with about half of the weight borne by exterior columns. The rest of the weight was carried by the towers’ steel-and-concrete cores. Floors were supported by lightweight steel trusses linking the exterior columns to the cores, giving tenants column-free spaces measuring about three-quarters of an acre.

According to Mr. Robertson, the buildings had been designed to withstand the impact of a Boeing 707, but the planes flown into the towers were heavier 767s. And his calculations had been based on the initial impact of the plane; they did not take into account the possibility of what he called a “second event,” like a fire.

When the planes struck the towers, they sliced through the steel frames, but the buildings remained standing. Many engineers concluded that conventionally framed buildings would have collapsed soon after impact. The twin towers stood long enough to allow thousands of people to escape.

But the fire from the burning jet fuel raged on. The floor trusses lost strength as they heated up, and they began to sag. The floors eventually began pulling away from the exterior columns before the buildings fell. A total of 2,753 people were killed, including 343 firefighters.

Mr. Robertson said he received hate mail after 9/11. But on a flight to Toronto one day, an airline employee gave him an unexpected upgrade to first class. When he asked for an explanation, he recalled in the 2009 interview, the employee said, “I was in Tower 2, and I walked out.”

After the towers collapsed, Mr. Robertson assumed that his career “was gone.” But to his surprise he was asked to travel to Asia, where developers of skyscrapers in the planning stages wanted his advice on how to make their buildings safer. That led to work in Asia. He also returned to the World Trade Center site: His firm was hired as the structural engineer of the 977-foot 4 World Trade Center, the first tower to rise there after 9/11.

But Mr. Robertson could not escape the images of that terrible day: “My sense of grief and my belief that I could have done better continue to haunt me,” he wrote in “The Structure of Design.”

“Perhaps, had the two towers been able to survive the events of 9/11, President Bush would not have been able to project our country into war,” he continued, referring to George W. Bush. “Perhaps, the lives of countless of our military men and women would not have been lost. Perhaps countless trillions of dollars would not have been wasted on war. Just perhaps, I could have continued my passage into and through old age, comfortably, without a troubled heart.”

Leslie Earl Robertson was born in Manhattan Beach, Calif., on Feb. 12, 1928, the second of two sons of Garnet and Tinabel (Grantham) Robertson. His father was a jack-of-all trades who at one point helped convert old vaudeville theaters into movie houses. His mother was a homemaker.

His parents divorced when Mr. Robertson was a boy, and he was raised by his father’s second wife, Zelda (Ziegel) Robertson, also a homemaker. In 1945, when he was 17, Leslie lied about his age and joined the Navy. He was not deployed, and he was honorably discharged that September. He studied engineering at the University of California, Berkeley, receiving a bachelor of science degree in 1952.

Over the next six years he worked as a mathematician, an electrical engineer and a structural engineer; for a time, while living in New York, he investigated the collapse of an offshore drilling platform. When that job ended, he decided to head west to California with his family in a Volkswagen convertible. The money ran out in Seattle, and in 1958 he took the first job he could get, at Worthington and Skilling, a structural engineering firm. Its clients included the Seattle-born architect Minoru Yamasaki, who had several projects in that city.

In 1962, Mr. Yamasaki won a competition to design the World Trade Center, and he helped Mr. Robertson’s firm obtain the engineering contract. “What that man did to me was incredible,” Mr. Robertson said. “I was a kid, and he said, ‘Go for it.’”

He added: “We had never done a real high-rise project before.”

Mr. Yamasaki felt that tall buildings were uncomfortable to be in unless they provided a sense of enclosure. It was that notion that led to the tube design, with exterior columns about two feet apart for most of the buildings’ height.

Mr. Robertson moved to New York to work on the Trade Center; Mr. Skilling stayed in Seattle. (He died in 1998.) In 1982, the firm — by then known as Skilling, Helle, Christiansen, Robertson — broke up, and its New York office became Leslie E. Robertson Associates, later LERA. Mr. Robertson gave up his partnership in 1994 but worked on the firm’s projects until 2012.

His first two marriages, to Elizabeth Zublin and Sharon Hibino, ended in divorce. He married SawTeen See, an engineer and later managing partner of LERA, in 1982. She survives him. In addition to her and their daughter, Karla Mei, he is survived by a son, Chris, from his first marriage; a daughter, Sharon Robertson, from his second marriage; and two grandsons. Another daughter from his first marriage, Jeanne Robertson, died of breast cancer in 2015.

When he landed the World Trade Center project, Mr. Robertson was “a hotshot who had dismissed the entire East Coast engineering establishment as calcified” and had “set out to do no less than change the principles of skyscraper design,” according to The Times Magazine.

“We were younger — we were not burdened with all of the baggage of how buildings had been constructed in the past,” Mr. Robertson said. “In a sense, we were the perfect choice.”

Cross-laminated Timber Market | Industry Applications and Key Players

The global cross-laminated timber market was valued at US$ 712.74 Mn in 2017 and is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of 14.7% from 2018 to 2026, according to a new report titled ‘Cross-laminated Timber Market: Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Forecast, 2018–2026,’ published by Transparency Market Research (TMR) The global cross-laminated timber market is driven by rising demand for cross-laminated timber and its increasing acceptance from the construction industry.

Rise in Demand for Cross-laminated Timber from the Construction Industry is projected to Drive the Market

Cross-laminated timber offers various advantages over conventional construction materials such as concrete and steel. It is considered a highly advanced building material due to its superior properties. It is safe, acoustically sound, fire proof, seismically resilient, light in weight, and easy to transport and fabricate. Moreover, it can be prefabricated, which reduces construction time significantly. It is an eco-friendly and sustainable material. It is being increasingly used in the construction industry, mainly in residential construction. A rise in the use of cross-laminated timber in construction is anticipated to drive the market over the forecast period.

Cross-laminated Timber is Considered to be the Future of Sustainable Construction

Increase in awareness about deforestation and climate change has increased demand for cross-laminated timber across the globe. In most countries, forest and climate sustainability is a top priority. Hence, government agencies, timber trade federations, and large construction companies are promoting the use of cross-laminated timber. Awareness regarding sustainable forest management by substituting soft and temperate wood species is on the rise. Usage of wood in buildings has clear advantages. Cross-laminated timber reduces fresh water consumption. It enhances the quality of the indoor environment. It also helps in keeping the environment clean, as it generates no waste during production. The only constituents of a CLT building system are wood and a non-toxic/non-VOC adhesive. Cross-laminated timber building materials do not release any toxins into the indoor environment, thereby providing clean indoor air. Cross-laminated timber wall systems can breathe naturally. When integrated with appropriate mechanical systems, they create a healthy indoor environment. Wood is a naturally occurring product that serves as a moisture management system in construction. Ideally manufactured with 12% moisture content, wood has the ability to absorb and release moisture. This can naturally stabilize the indoor environment. Constructing with timber reduces the carbon footprint. The raw material for cross-laminated timber is timber i.e. wood , which is a renewable resource and has carbon locked in it.

Higher Cost of Cross-laminated Timber and Lack of Awareness about the Material are Hindering the Cross-laminated Timber Market

Construction by using cross-laminated timber (CLT) is a relatively new concept. CLT was first developed and used in Germany and Austria in the early 1990s. It was only after the mid- 1990s that extensive research on the product was conducted. By the 2000s, CLT was being used much widely in Europe, in single-storied as well as multi-storied buildings. The construction sector is largely dominated by the use of conventional materials such as concrete and steel. Construction using cross-laminated timber is currently more expensive as compared to that using concrete and steel. This is likely to restrain the market. Moreover, awareness about cross-laminated timber and its properties is low across the world. Cross-laminated timber can be used for constructing tall buildings, but its use is limited to low- and mid-rise buildings currently, as there are no codes and regulations available for the use of cross-laminated timber in construction.

Adhesive-bonded Cross-laminated Timber Segment to Dominate the Global Cross-laminated Timber Market

Based on type, the global cross-laminated timber market has been segmented into adhesive-bonded cross-laminated timber and mechanically fastened cross-laminated timber. Both segments are anticipated to expand at a rapid pace during the forecast period. However, the adhesive-bonded cross-laminated timber segment is likely to expand at a faster pace. Compared to mechanically fastened CLT, adhesive-bonded CLT is used on a larger scale during construction. Cross-laminated timber panels consist of several layers of lumber boards stacked crosswise and glued together. Adhesive is used to assemble CLT panels. Very few manufacturers of cross-laminated timber use the process of mechanical fastening to manufacture CLT. Manufacturers use aluminum nails or wooden dowels to connect wood layers vertically.

Residential Construction Segment Dominates the Global Cross-laminated Timber Market

In terms of application, residential buildings is a prominent segment of the cross-laminated timber market. In residential buildings, cross-laminated timber is used in walls, roofs, and ceilings. Flooring and walls made from cross-laminated timber can be assembled fully before reaching the project site. This prefabrication helps in decreasing the construction time and cost. Cross-laminated timber is less commonly used in construction in industrial and commercial spaces. They require strict building codes of strength to be followed. In order to achieve that, the number of cross-laminated timber panels used increases, and the cost of construction rises significantly. Currently, the use of cross-laminated timber is limited to low-rise and mid-rise buildings.

Europe Dominates the Global Cross-laminated Timber Market

In terms of geography, the global cross-laminated timber market can be classified into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East & Africa, and Latin America. Europe is a leading consumer as well as producer of cross-laminated timber across the world. The region held a major market share in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance during the forecast period. Key drivers of the cross-laminated timber market in Europe include the green development movement, changes in building codes, and consistent efforts for marketing by CLT manufactures. Building codes in Europe are focusing on the use of wood in construction to promote sustainability. In terms of volume, North America holds a prominent share of the global cross-laminated timber market. High demand for and wide-scale adoption of cross-laminated timber as a construction material in the region has boosted the market in North America. Asia Pacific is another significant region of the cross-laminated timber market. Demand for CLT in the region primarily comes from countries such as Japan, New Zealand, and Australia. The demand in these countries is estimated to be high during the forecast period. In 2017, Latin America and Middle East & Africa were minimally significant regions of the cross-laminated timber market compared to other regions. However, both regions are estimated to witness significant growth in the consumption of cross-laminated timber during the forecast period. However, lack of technical knowhow is expected to inhibit the rapid growth of the cross-laminated timber market in these two regions. Strengthening of distribution channels in these regions is anticipated to help market players expand their footprint in the near future.

High Degree of Competition among Market Players

High degree of competition exists among market players operating in the cross-laminated timber market. The market is dominated by large players and is moderately consolidated. Key players account for a major share of the market. Major players profiled in the report are Stora Enso, Mayr-Melnhof Holz Holding AG, Binderholz Bausysteme GmbH, KLH Massivholz GmbH, HASSLACHER Holding GmbH, Structurlam Mass Timber Corporation, Nordic Structures, Ed. Zublin AG, Eugen Decker Holzindustrie KG, Sterling Lumber Company, Inc., and W. u. J. Derix GmbH & Co..

Nicolas Pople Architects creates vaulted CLT church in Stroud

Nicolas Pople Architects has created a facetted cross-laminated timber chapel for a church in the town of Stroud in southwest England.

Built for the Christian Community in Stroud, the timber chapel was made from a combination of cross-laminated timber (CLT) panels and glue-laminated (glulam) structural beams.

Nicolas Pople Architects worked with structural engineer Corbett Tasker to create the facetted CLT structure, which was designed to invoke the feeling of a contemporary gothic cathedral.

Nicolas Pople Architects has created a vaulted CLT church in Stroud

"We wanted to create a contemporary, well-crafted sacred space, inspired by the great medieval gothic cathedral and church builders in a way which isn't noticeably of a particular style or religious group," explained Peter Corbett, co-founder of Corbett Tasker.

"It's a space where the structure is honestly expressed without being visually distracting. In the words of Aaron Mirkin – priest at the Stroud chapel – it is 'uplifting but not overwhelming'," he told Dezeen.

The interior is made from facetted CLT panels

Within the main chapel, the walls and roof are made from angled slabs of exposed structural CLT.

The architecture studio wanted to create a space with interesting geometries, but one that had clean lines and did not distract from the Christian Community services that take place.

The chapel has an exposed CLT roof

"The space should not be the focus of attention: the ritual is what matters," said Nicolas Pople Architects founder Nicolas Pople.

"From a design point of view this requires a balancing act between static and dynamic, and careful attention to detail so that paradoxically, it does not draw the eye."

It has facetted timber walls

The design team chose to build the structure from CLT as it allowed them to reinterpret the stone, curved vaults of gothic cathedrals in a contemporary way with a sustainable material.

"Fundamentally CLT allowed the design team to create a beautifully crafted space using complex geometry whilst significantly de-risking the construction phase – it is not feasible to build cathedrals like the gothic masons did!" said Corbett.

"There are also strong ethical reasons for choosing to build in timber, the only truly sustainable material and the natural choice for a forward-thinking church community."

The CLT was used to create a vault-like structure

The architecture studio and engineer aimed to push the possibilities of CLT construction and created a facetted timber vault from CLT, which was supported by glulam beams.

"Very often CLT structures are built with horizontal slabs supported on vertical walls, or a grid of orthogonal beams and columns," explained Corbett.

"Here, in perhaps a first in this country, we used the panels to create a timber vault, where compression forces dominate over bending forces, creating an 18-metre spanning arch from altar to congregation and using a 'folded plate' technique to give additional structural stiffness."

The main chapel is wrapped in single-storey rooms

The chapel was built on the site of the church's former community hall and other facilities, which were demolished, at a 90-degree angle to the previous chapel that has been converted into a community room.

Wrapping around the double-height main hall is a single-storey structure that contains the church's entrance hall, office, cloakroom, toilets, a wake room and the vestry.

The church isfinished in white render

The walls of the timber structure are covered in white render, while cedar shingles were used on the chapel's roof and a green roof was installed on the flat roofs of the surrounding rooms.

German studio Architektur3 also used timber for a triangular tower and public viewpoint that was added to a church in the Black Forest, while TSDS Interior Architects built a church entirely from wood on a rubber plantation in Indonesia.

Other recently completed churches on Dezeen include a circular church in Brno that is topped with a panoramic, rainbow-hued window and a porcelain-clad church designed by Espen Surnevik in Norway.

"Knife" -Misery Club

Cut me open

Leave me on sight

Knife in your hand

Point it toward me again

Put me on trial

You have your way

Can I do this again?

Again you left me here to bleed

I feel like there's nothing left in me to go on

Stay up all night

Never see day

Light that you were is gone

Gone and I ain't coming back

I played the game once

I ain't having that no more

You were my light

Turned to a knife

Now I'm left here with scars

Give me one night and I'll give you my life

I put faith in you once and regretted it twice

But I know what you want

So I'm under your knife again

Again, again

If you tell me your name then I'll show you my face

You could love me the same and we'll never erase

And the light from your flame is our final embrace again

Again, again, again

Lately, I've been unstable

Don't know if I'm able

Ever see your face again

Cause when it's your time to shine through

It's enough to blind you

Hit me with your blade again

Cut open my chest

To see there is nothing left

Lay me down to rest, yeah

Watch my final breath, yeah

When I think I'm coming back

I feel better but it's strange

Thought I saw you from afar

You cast a spell on me, a charm

I wait for you in pain

Nights slipping and the light stays flickering time

Pour you water and I look you right in the eyes

It's not the same when I'm away

Girl, I need you face to face

Glad we finally got arranged

I'm saying, baby

Something keeps me separated

Something keeps me inside

Something keeps me in a lock box, tongue tied

Baby, listen when I say

You're forever what I want

I can't think of you enough

I promise that I'm coming 'round

Coming 'round

I know you are the best around

An Extreme (Snow)Storm Trek

This was inspired by a blizzard we had where we live weeks ago. I still think it’s as epic as the kind of storm where we have an extreme amount of snow probably a foot above our heads.
