Skyscrapers 2010 – The World’s Tallest Buildings
Third installment of my skyscraper video featuring the tallest buildings in the world, completed and under construction.
Height criteria from CTBUH’s first method.
I eventually decided against adopting the Sears Tower’s revised name, “Willis Tower”. Personal preference.

BC2 Fastest way to C4 Buildings
This is a video of Battlefield: Bad Company 2, demonstrating the quickest way to collapse a building using C4. Generally useful if you want to destroy MCOMs, or just your teammates off!
I probably could have taught you guys this in 20 seconds but … you know… whatever.
Why perpendicular walls? Well it seems that C4s have a high Z axis blast radius but a low X axis one, so putting the C4 sideways I guess blows more of the walls.
I hope you find usefulness within all this uselessness of a video.

Natural alternative building
Go to http://www.kleiwerks.org for a wealth of free natural building photos and resources.
Why is exploring natural building alternatives so important?
95% of our original forests have been destroyed.
Current building construction accounts for…
# 40% of the world’s energy usage
# 40% of the debris dumped in landfills
# 18% of the world’s fresh water usage
And results in 30 years of debt for the average home owner.
This video is about the reintroduction and refining of traditional common sense, on site building practices across the globe.
Kleiworks at http://www.Kleiwerks.org has trained locals in the art of natural building in Thailand, Argentina, the United States of America, Laos, China, Burma, India, Chile, Peru, Costa Rica, Australia, Brazil and England.
Even if you’re not building a home you can help revive sensible, sustainable, ecologically friendly building by making a tax deductable donation to the kleiworks training fund at http://www.kleiwerks.org/support_us.php

Building the World Trade Center and Twin Towers – 1 of 2
This documentary was made in 1983 by The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (Part 1 of 2).
It contains footage of when the twin towers were constructed from the mid 60’s through early 70’s.
20 World Trade Center Facts at 01-Apr-2002 – Courtesy of Carl Taylor, more at…
http://www.theharrowgroup.com/articles/20020401/WTC_facts.htm
1. The WTC opened in 1970 after 8 years of construction.
2. The WTC was the dream of David Rockefeller, chairman of the Chase Manhattan Bank, and Nelson Rockefeller, former Governor of New York.
3. The Rockefellers wanted to name the towers after themselves, but the mayor of NY, John Lindsay, insisted on the World Trade Center.
4. The City chose to build the WTC instead of building a new tunnel and large bridge over the Hudson River.
5. The World Trade Center was designed by architect Minoura Yamasaki.
6. According to Yamasaki, downtown Manhattan was the perfect place to erect the towers because there wasn’t “a single building worth saving in the neighborhood.”
7. Owners of nearby buildings disagreed, and delayed demolition by three weeks with their protests.
8. Sixteen blocks were cleared to house the completed WTC.
9. More than 10,000 workers involved in building the complex.
10. More than 60 of them died during construction.
11. The excavation work displaced enough soil to create Liberty Park, where four 60-floor towers and four apartment buildings were constructed.
***
Please note “Fact 11″ is disputed – YT member “opusbeme” claims it should read Battery Park City !!
***
12. The WTC’s foundations were laid at 60 feet below ground level.
13. The complex covered 16 acres when finished.
14. In addition to the towers, five other office buildings made up the WTC complex
The WTC had 12 million square feet of space.
15. Each floor was 50,000 square feet.
16. The buildings had their own ZIP codes – 10047 and 10048.
17. The towers were designed to look like a futuristic sculpture.
18. The structure was revolutionary. Its main supports were external, lining the four corners of each tower.
19. Critics condemned the completed buildings as “boring.”
20. Completed, the buildings were 100 feet taller then the Empire State building.

So you want to be an architect – Part 7
Hi. Im Doug Patt and this is Part 7 and the final episode of So you want to be an architect. Architecture like many things is about many things and Im sure Ill leave some things out but here goes… Architecture starts with Getting into school then staying in the major.

Learning how nervous you can get in front of an audience. Maybe Failing. Probably Passing. Getting a degree or maybe a couple. Debt. Traveling. Graduating. Working. Not getting paid so well. Wondering why youre not an investment banker. Finishing the intern development program. Studying for the seven parts of the exam. Glad its not four days like it used to be. Taking the test. Failing the one part you thought youd never fail. Taking it again. Wondering why you took the exam. Working for someone. Getting clients. Keeping clients. Documenting the site. Analyzing the site. Evaluating zoning codes. Listening to the client. Dreaming. Inventing. Learning. Questioning. Studying the program. Creating a schematic design. Making changes. Developing the design. Making changes. Learning how to work with other people. Evaluating your compliance to zoning and building codes. Making changes. Wondering why you have clients. Working with Structural engineers. Mechanical engineers, Electrical engineers, audiovisual engineers, Landscape architects, Interior designers, construction managers, owners representatives and general contractors. Coordinating professionals. Drawing plans, elevations, building sections, walls sections, and details. Redrawing the drawings you just drew. Writing specifications. Staying up late. Meeting with the clients. Making changes. Preparing the bid documents. Reviewing the bids. Decision-making. Observing construction. Problem solving. Meeting with the client. Arguing with the contractor. Learning a lot. Teaching a little. Running site meetings. Making changes. Losing sleep. Creating change orders. Getting an earful. Doing punch lists.

Making money. Working harder. Dreaming of change. Inventing. Aspiring. Procreating. Consuming. Getting what you always wanted. Not really. Living with what you got and hopefully needing nothing more.
