ion creates a dangerous dehumanization. This point was previously made by Eric Darton in his prescient book on the World Trade Center (Darton, 2000). Darton raised the frightening prospect that the creation of giant tower buildings is related to the mindset of those who would wish to destroy them (Darton, 2000). His reasoning is as follows. It is impossible to contemplate killing thousands of people in a single building unless those people are viewed simply as an abstract class. They must not be considered as having any separate existence apart from the building’s geometry, which is itself defined abstractly. The geometry of huge, monumental, monofunctional office towers makes it difficult to imagine that they are full of people, hence it becomes possible and even rational for someone who thinks only in abstractions to contemplate their destruction (Darton, 2000).
