Talk:Minoru Yamasaki

List of works
"Works" is far from complete. Dates and chronological ordering also needed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Conversion script (talk • contribs) 26 February 2002

missing Pruitt-Igoe photos
Yamasaki were part of the architect group who projected the Pruitt-Igoe buildings (as shown at Koyaanisqatsi movie), and there are no photos of it in this Minoru Yamasaki wikipedia page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.83.109.22 (talk) 17:09, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

nationality
Yamasaki is described as 'an American architect', but is listed in Category:Japanese architects. This seems a little inconsistent. Should we change the category or the description? -- Solipsist 21:30, 13 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Shouldn't his name be in kanji, or at least hiragana? The katakana here doesn't seem appropriate (it is katakana, right?) Twoblackeyes 28 August 2006

My copy-edits
Mr Tan has reverted my edits with the demand that I give reasons. May I suggest that he check the Manual of style, as well as the Wikilinks that I corrected? Mel Etitis ( Μελ Ετητης ) 16:59, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Sorry--I overlooked.

Nationality
Per WP:MOSBIO, opening paragraph, point #3, shouldn't Yamasaki be listed as an American? --Tom 02:47, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Wow is it me or does this article need improvemt/help. I have started. Did he only design Towers 1 and 2 or the whole WTC complex? Also, does this article really have only 2 sources/links? Why am I not surprised. I will try to work on this article over the next few weeks, please join me, thanks --Tom 03:01, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

I'd suggest that the sentence "He died of cancer in 1986, and hence did not live to see the destruction of the towers on September 11, 2001." does a bit too much over-explaining. I think the reference to the September 11th attacks in the intro is probably suffcient. I'll hold off on the edit for now. Onionpeeler 08:08, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

east lansing / okemos mi
I thought he designed a building in east lansing / okemos area? in michigan, of course. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.94.156.99 (talk • contribs) 10 July 2007

Submitting pictures
I live in Minneapolis, Minnesota and often view and ponder the resembelance of the Northwestern National Life Insurance building(1964) to the first 3 storys of the world trade center. I was under the belief they were similiar if not exactly alike. I would like to submit a picture or pictures of this building to the Minoru Yamasaki page. How would I go about doing that? Thanks for your time and response in advance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Krk (talk • contribs) 11 July 2007
 * You can upload pictures here: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Upload - this is a central repository for pictures to use on Wikipedia. You probably need to create an account there, in order for that link to work.  If that's confusing, you can try the "File upload wizard" link on the left menu of this page. We can help if you have more questions. --Aude (talk) 19:56, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Third wife
Does anyone have information regarding Yamasaki's third wife? Obituaries and other sources mostly don't refer to her, and the only mention I could find described her, strangely, as an "imported Japanese wife" (url=http://ss.sites.mtu.edu/cca/yamasaki-associates/). I've looked up public records as well — to no avail. Her name is currently missing from the infobox list, as well as the "personal life" section. Yaguzi (talk) 01:04, 13 August 2020 (UTC)

Missing work Tulsa
There is a 1/4 size version of the World trade center building in Oklahoma. In a city called Tulsa. In fact here's it's wiki link. That really needs to be added. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/BOK_Tower#:~:text=BOK%20Tower's%20lobby%20has%20marble,25%2Dstory%20replicas%20in%20Tulsa. 2600:8803:8BE0:8200:4954:4EEF:B6E0:FFAB (talk) 13:08, 17 August 2023 (UTC)
