Building to extremes
Many saw the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center as the end of the skyscraper. They were wrong. This program interviews architects and engineers who have dedicated their lives to reaching new heights, and investigates the risks and benefits of building tall. Two projects-Taipei 101 and the Shanghai World Financial Center-are featured as they race to become the world's tallest building. And as plans go forward for a new building on the site of the WTC and for an audacious half-mile-high tower in Dubai, can innovative materials and design techniques overcome critical safety issues?
