Bio on Paul Laffoley

LAFFOLEY ARCHIVE: Paul Laffoley Biographical Info CONDENSED BIOGRAPHY:

Laffoley attended Brown University, graduating in 1962 with honors in Classics, Philosophy, and Art History.

In 1963, he attended the Harvard Graduate School of Design, and apprenticed with the sculptor Mirko Basaldella before being dismissed from the institution. He was dismissed for "conceptual deviance", after the majority of his designs were given a grade that designates the project not as good or bad, but as 'currently technologically or physically impossible'.

Thereafter, he moved to New York to apprentice with the visionary architect Friedrich Kiesler. He was also hired for the design team of the World Trade Center, but was soon after fired by the chief architect, Minoru Yamasaki, for his unconventional ideas. He had apparently always been quite an 'unconventional' person. By Laffoley's account, he spoke his first word ("Constantinople") at the age of six months, and then lapsed into 4 years of silence, having been diagnosed with slight Autism. Laffoley has written that, in his senior year at Brown, he was given eight electric-shock treatments. As a child he attended the progressive Mary Lee Burbank School in Belmont, Massachusetts, where his draftsman's talent was ridiculed by his Abstract Expressionist teachers. Subscribe to *9-11*

From Micpsi:

Paul Laffoley, one of the architects who worked for Emery Roth & Sons, one of the architectual firms that designed the WTC, dropped a bombshell during an interview on February 21, 2007 with Mike Hagan on Radio Orbit. Evidently, very few heard the sound of the bomb going off, and so I offer it here so that it may blow away your minds. About 40 minutes into the interview, he says that, when he started working with Roth on the design of floors 15-45 of WTC2, Saudi Arabian engineers were there who had been brought over by the chief architect of WTC to New York from the Bin Laden Construction Company in order to collaborate with his firm. Some of them asked him where he would put demolition devices. Evidently, these sites were designed into the towers! Laffoley said that buildings in the early 1960s and 1970s in New York were built to be brought down by controlled demolition. Then he asserted that WTC1, WTC2 & WTC7 were in fact brought down by controlled demolition on 9/11! He seemed to think that the terrorists could have done this because the Bin Laden Construction Company would have known the location of the special places designed for explosives to be placed.

We may excuse Laffoley's naivety for thinking - contrary to the official story - that al Qaeda terrorists blew up the towers. The crucial point is that he said categorically that the towers at WTC had been designed to be brought down by controlled demolition with the provision of strategic points built into the towers, where demolition charges would be placed once the decision was taken to blow them up. As an architect who helped design WTC2, he is a credible source, and his statement cannot be lightly dismissed as disinformation, for whoever destroyed the towers on 91/11 would hardly want him revealing publicly that the towers had been designed to be demolished eventually. His revelation has enormous implications, of course, for the plausibility of the towers being destroyed by some unconventional form of controlled demolition.

There is a blogger's article that comments on this interview at: http://kentroversypapers.blogspot.com/2007...any-worked.html

Laffoley's statement about the towers being designed for controlled demolition occurs around 40-45 minutes into the interview.

So you think the Saudi's planned 9/11 in 1963 or 1964?

The CT community just gets nuttier and nuttier.

The crucial point is that he said categorically that the towers at WTC had been designed to be brought down by controlled demolition with the provision of strategic points built into the towers, where demolition charges would be placed once the decision was taken to blow them up.

You do realize this is utter nonsense and that your leg is being pulled. Don't you, honway? This guy is somewhat of a nut. http://www.laffoley.com/ ROTFLOL!

Just because you don't understand Laffoley's graphic doesn't mean he's crazy, BAC. Within that complex web of spatial relationships may lie the answer and cure to your reflexive Bushbotism and continued denial of reality. Study it. Ponder it. Who can guess at the power hidden within it? Delving into its mysteries ever deeper might just be the only chance you'll have to escape the mental prison that binds you in darkness. ;^)
