S1#17🌞😎🇺🇸🇬🇧 : Around "Big John", John Hancock Tower...

What this episode covers

The John Hancock Tower located in Chicago/USA, 875 North Michigan Avenue, was delivered in 1969. At the time, it was a symbol of power and innovation: the highest skyscraper in the world, multi-purpose, innovative technology thanks to a metal structure with cross-bracing made of tubes visible on the façade.More than 50 years after its construction, in what way does "Big John", resonates with the current news moment? Given the increase in the world's population, should we continue the race to reach the highest skyscraper (as the Jeddah Tower) ? Are we fundamentally innovative in mixed programmes? In this age of digital mock-up (BIM), parametric architecture and Big Data, what is the challenge?In six minutes, we try to put this into perspective. Hébergé par Acast.
