This film is about a dynamic structural engineer, Tony Fitzpatrick, who has built some of the world'most flamboyant skyscrapers. In addition to examining a new tower he is building in Paris, a tower that is transparent and thin as a pencil, the program traces the dizzying history of skyscrapers and our quest to build to the heavens as we struggle to defy wind and gravity.
All tests are open book.
Homework problems, in addition to some computer applications will be assigned and collected. Students may work on the assignments in study groups. No make-up tests will be given without a valid reason.
