Resumen

17

La desaparición de las Torres Gemelas infló grotescamente lo sublime. La inclusión de Edmund Burke del miedo y el temor como elementos estéticos ha llegado a dominar los cánones de la representación, pero el efecto extremo del 11-S hizo del concepto algo intolerable, mientras que la arquitectura posterior parece haber reaccionado con la proliferación de contorsiones extremas, y a menudo inquietantes, voladizos vertiginosos y perfiles desequilibrados. Representando las maquinaciones del milenio anterior, tras su extirpación estos monolitos mínimos se convirtieron en los auspicios más potentes para el siguiente. Antes de caer, eran extraordinariamente puras formalmente al mismo tiempo que provocaban la ira sectaria hacia las instituciones que representaban: Nueva York, Estados Unidos y el comercio multinacional. La improbable historia de la desaparición violenta de sus edificios contagió también a su diseñador. El colapso los convirtió en verdaderos monumentos, en el sentido fúnebre de la palabra, profundamente significativos mientras el mundo deriva hacia la distopía, favoreciendo a la plutocracia y destilando sentimientos malignos en muchas culturas.
