Futures With Jaime Escalante: Architecture & Structural Engineering
15 minutes
Shapes. Once you start looking for them, they're everywhere. It is the structural engineers, like those at the Cantor/Seinuk Group, who make an architect's design come to life--and perhaps make it earthquake-proof, which is the challenge faced by students at Cooper Union School of Architecture. Dizzying visuals take viewers on a high-speed roller coaster ride at Six Flags, where they also meet the designers and engineers who plan and build these amazing structures. Also presents a classroom guest, award-winning architect Frank Gehry.
