Copper and diamond

Description

As construction of the Worldwide Plaza moves toward completion, this program focuses on the two final make-or-break hurdles: a problem with the roof design, which requires that the copper panels be hoisted by hand and the floor be reinforced to support the weight of the building's mechanical systems, and the challenge of installing the building's crowning glass pyramid 770 feet above the ground. The designing and installation of the structure's sophisticated elevator system is also spotlighted.
