Engineering The Shard

- A video case study of The Shard is a great story that demonstrates what can be achieved with the right mix of outlandish ambition, determination, ‘aggressive charm’ and teamwork. And the quiet pride that comes through from both the client, Irvine Sellar and the WSP team is almost tangible. www.wsp.com/en-GL/projects/the...

Very brave with the top down construction method. Must be said, its one of the most amazing feats of engineering the modern world has seen so far!
AN ARCHITECTURAL DIAMOND OF EPIC PROPORTION!!!!!!
Great Video!
Blackpool Tower remind you of anything Sellar? You can fly an aeroplane between it and the Eiffel, only you don't need a bit of string for the sound carrier ...
Beautiful
Amazing.Gigantic
Breath taking. Would there be the possibility that I could utilise the first 3-4 seconds of your clip in the introductions for my videos on CZcams? Athina

+WSP | Parsons Brinckerhoff puffftttttt u guys are so rich its unreal help the lady out!!!
whining babies cant handle 3 seconds of footage being taken from a documentary that made them more money in a month than most people make in their entire lives (including me)

Fantastic
I'm sorry? I heard a lot about the esthetics and politics of getting a world renown project up, but I didn't hear much about the engineering, other than changing to concrete floors for the res and hotel floors...
Maybe it will twist over time.
this has been made to ilustrate the babylon tower
4:32 "it's a beautiful story...everybody to work together." He's Russian?
I kinda looks like a mini version of the kingdom tower
But looks better lol
Why is it always london that has the most new buildings under constructions? Why not do other uk cities that needs new tall buildings like Manchester, Birmingham, Liverpool, Leeds etc.
why background music while spoken - better without
can not exactly understand that with that noisy background music - terrible
To quote the chilling phrase of Sellar: "more aggression than charm"; like the building itself, I'm afraid. Another indelible legacy of Blair's megalomaniac Britain. The shard is simply a sign that London finally buckled and joined a race that doesn't matter. Give us a net zero energy landmark and preferably in another city to divert some of London's commerce and contribute to decentralisation. The Eiffel Tower said big engineering is the future. Empires State etc was a solution to limited horizontal space and made a statement about USA's consolidated global role. What does this grey spike in a mostly grey sky say? Britain can do it too albeit many, many decades later? What HAPPENED to levelheadedness? For me, it's the cold shard of ice that will immortalise Britain's tragic megalomaniac world role in the 2000s.
I do not understand. Why build that building? What for? Who for? If one wanted to go on a journey (i.e. build a building), once they reached a destination, case closed. We are left with good memories. We could write a book. We could give lectures. We could inspire others, provide insights ... that is the point of a journey. Beyond that no need to paint the road to say I was there. Well, dismantling it would be the right next step. Alternatively, walking up a mountain would provide much greater experience for everybody else.

@@peredavi Why? What? Who? Make it a nice day
Skyscrapers are built due to there being more square footage per plot of land
This building is used for office space, hotels, restaurants, transportation center and as a tourist attraction due to the observation deck
Also dismantling a 73 story building is a stupid and useless idea
@@Thefox0922 The message about skyscrapers should be communicated to sprawling cities in USA, Australia and Canada. I know, the infrastructure is inadequate for that kind of load.
What they are waiting for, why they don't start mushrooming more skyscrapers like this one across London and reclaim wasted land?
There is a fine line between using Fallacies to prove a point and claiming ideas are stupid.
We do have an Eiffel Tower, it is Blackpool.
We have a tower taller than the Eifel tower
It’s called the emerly moor tower
i guess it's ridiculous :/
Over priced neck ache, I thought the original bridge got to the USA where this building should be. Remember we also bombed Lubeck because the Nazis torched Rotterdam.
