From designing Livonia's Grant Elementary School to the Twin Towers in New York Minoru Yamasaki was respected around the world |
This week in 1963, architect Minoru Yamasaki was on the cover of Time Magazine.
Throughout his standout career as an architect, he would live and work in many places, Birmingham among them.
When he won the competition to design the world-famous Twin Towers in New York, he was working out of Birmingham having just completed Grant Elementary School in Livonia.
