Share:

Our design-minded friends over at Architizer tipped us off to the latest installment in The New York Times‘ video series commemorating the tenth anniversary of 9/11, a fascinating piece which focuses on the “sky cowboys” of 1 World Trade Center — aka the agile ironworkers who, laboring at almost 1,000 feet above Lower Manhattan, arguably have one of the best views in the city. Click through to meet the fearless men who are “changing the skyline,” and check out some of the stunning images shot by Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer Damon Winter.
