AIA Convention Overwhelmingly Rejects Resolution to Re-Investigate WTC 7

Overwhelming Majority of AIA Delegates Make the
Political Decision and Vote Down Resolution 15-6


“We are a professional – not a political – organization. But in this case, if we vote “no” on this resolution, we are making a political decision, not a professional one. Thank you very much.” – Daniel Barnum, FAIA

Those were the closing remarks from the lead sponsor of AIA Resolution 15-6, Daniel Barnum, FAIA. Seconds later, the AIA delegates cast their votes. The unfortunate outcome was that an overwhelming majority made the political decision. Resolution 15-6, which called upon the AIA to support a new WTC 7 investigation, was voted down 3,892 to 160, garnering 4% of the delegates’ votes.

...that an overwhelming number of architects and engineers disagreed with the NIST findings on WTC 7.

I am beginning to suspect that has been exaggerated, if this AIA consensus is any indication.
