Synopsis

In Vancouver, architects and engineers have crafted an environmentally conscious convention center along the waterfront. Elsewhere, a lift bridge rises in Bordeaux, while in Tokyo, a skyscraper takes the form of a protective cocoon. Each project presents distinct hurdles: the delicate marine habitats surrounding the Vancouver site, the immense span required for the Bordeaux bridge, and the complex structural demands of the Tokyo tower.
