Best skyscraper in Europe, great shape, amazingly perfect cladding, great metalwork, great quality of materials, and I hear that it will have an amazing night lighting system, and it's outside glass elevators, also lit, will look great and the blue, yellow and red metal work at the back is just fab

Chest is such a talented photographer, he should make a book, seriously, he could easily do it with his and by now huge photo collection, and do it well

I missed it, but hopefully it'll be on again sometime.

Finally saw the show. The thing that stood out the most to me was that they were continually adjusting shims in the columns as the structure was erected to account for uneven settlement. I've heard of doing that with lowrise structures like the Kansai Int'l Airport terminal, but never for a bonafide skyscraper.

Just watched it from my DVR last night. Excellent show. That shim innovation was mind blowing. You can purchase the Blu Ray featuring all 4 episodes right here-

For those who haven't seen the show, trust me- it's $30 well spent!

Wow, this has come a long way since I last saw.
