Inside a skyscraper


The book is  a pictorial gem. All the concepts are shown in pictures. Beginning with a cross section of a base of a tall building, digging, all the equipment needed, skilled workers involved in the whole process are all shown in easily understandable figures.
The section of Elevators with new algorithms, energy generators during descent are all interesting to learn of.
A whole floor or more as a Mechanical floor
Fire sprinkler mechanism
Frit the glass
Reading of Hugh Ferris, I wondered if Ferris wheel was after him.
