In case you missed it, Hilson Moran was recently featured in a new Channel 5, 2 part series called ‘World’s Tallest Skyscrapers: Beyond the Clouds’. Over the last 5 years, the number of giant buildings over 300m tall have doubled and are seen today are super skyscrapers – going beyond the vertical limits and creating space for work and play high up in the clouds.
As the presenter, engineer Rob Bell explains, ‘By 2050 75% of us will be living in overcrowded cities, so we are now building taller and faster than ever before’. As part of the journey behind the secrets of these tall structures, we find out what it takes to create these ambitious designs and turn them into reality. The series also covers designs of the future, those buildings that are truly pushing the boundaries in not only engineering but in design and technology too.
