The Fairbanks house in Dedham, Massachusetts, built about 1636, is a typical example of the colonial architecture in that part of the United States. The high, pitched roof and overlapping weatherboards were functional, making use of the materials at hand. The well in front is made of river rocks.

New World Trade Center


Polish-born American architect Daniel Libeskind produced this winning design for rebuilding the World Trade Center site in New York City. The twin towers of the trade center collapsed in the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. Libeskind’s design, called Memory Foundations, leaves bare the exposed bedrock at the site while restoring soaring towers to New York City’s skyline.
