Engineering Crisis of 1978A young architect student was studying documents from the construction of

the building and discovered that the upper section was not properly attached to the four giant posts at the

base. With a hurricane approaching the city, workers swarmed the

building to secure the base and prevented it from blowing over in the high winds of the hurricane.

Structurally, you only need two planks per layer. However, by using four planks per layer, you create the look of windows.

The base posts, office section and roof section can all be seen in this squatty structure. Add as many layers as you like in the office section to make it into a skyscraper.
