On Sunday’s episode of How Did They Build That?, Scott Rummel takes a look two remarkable engineering feats: a performance center with a unique tent-like structure and twisting apartment towers that challenge conventional designs.
In Kansas City, engineers tackle the challenge of constructing a performance center with a glass-and-steel lobby that resembles a tent. The structure’s design tests their skills and pushes the boundaries of architecture.
Meanwhile, in Ontario, two apartment towers twist and turn, defying traditional building techniques and leaving onlookers in awe.
Scott Rummel uncovers the secrets behind these innovative structures and discovers how engineers and builders pushed the limits of design and creativity to bring these projects to life.
