Thursday Jan 27, 2022
Modern skyscrapers often reach heights taller than some mountains and some are built in places that are technically challenging. Laura and Rwayda discuss how it's possible to build such tall structures and why they are built. They also touch on future trends for building materials that are climate friendly and sustainable, and speculate on what the future might hold. The notable buildings that they mention are the Empire State Building in New York, the Buri Kalifa in Dubai, Taipei 101 and Voll Arkitekter’s Mjøstårne in Norway. They also discuss how to make a building that could withstand King Kong, and talk about 'Spook Central' from Ghostbusters.
