The Evolution of Skyscrapers & How We Build Them | <3 #133 GEMINI

from Heart Emoji <3 · host Bronson Walker

Gemini takes us down the skyscraper rabbit hole starting in 1880's Chicago, 9 years after The Great Chicago Fire. We learn about The Taipei 101's solid steel mass damper, how early elevators were sketch af, and follow Andy the (fictional) ironworker up the nearly-finished Empire State Building as he catches white-hot rivets with a bucket before pounding them into steel beams that remain steadfast 95 years later.
