Tall Buildings
Why do we have tall buildings? What are some of the problems architects solve when structures go up instead of out? A young girl in an apartment block demonstrates a garbage chute and a security intercom system. Her toy explores other parts of the building, from the underground car park to the rooftop. The toy leads us to the construction site of a multi-story apartment block and learns what makes the structure strong. The girl tells us reasons she enjoys living up high.Release
