Description
For 25 years it was the tallest building in the world, and it still holds that title in the United States. However, when the $175-million Sears Tower was completed in 1973, it broke boundaries not only in height but in design and construction methods as well. This program examines architect Bruce Graham's innovations and their intended results-including better light, better ventilation, and better conditions for workers. Viewers are introduced to 1960s-era developments in steel and plate glass technology, replacing the heavy masonry walls of earlier skyscraper designs. The nearly crippling financial costs of funding such an iconic tower are also explored.
