Taipei Tower

Just how testing were the design and construction of Taiwan's £1.75 billion skyscraper, Taipei 101? Richard Hammond's series has a superb way of demonstrating engineering principles. Whether historic or contemporary, innovations are illustrated by familiar objects or examples from the natural world. So what's the key principle that enables the 101-floor tower to stand up? Well, we learn how a birdcage inspired the first metal-framed skyscrapers in Chicago of the 1880s. Hammond, of course, can't resist testing a metal frame . . . to destruction. It's full of science, clearly illustrated by experiments that really are fun. Next, it must be flexible enough to withstand tropical storms and earthquakes. Cue an analysis of bamboo and a high-speed trip in a trimaran to study the stabilising effects of outriggers. And so on. It's not just neat; this is first-class TV that makes learning painless and fun.
