Hey You What If?

Series 2 Episode 21: You Built the Tallest Building on Earth

So you want to build the tallest building on Earth? Ambitious but good on yer! This episode will tell you how, starting with how not to. Most tall buildings are tall and thin because land is expensive. But this isn't the best design because the lowest floor has to take the weight of all the floors above it. And so eventually, you reach a limit where the structure at the bottom isn't strong enough.
