Description
The Empire State Building in New York is probably the most famous building in America, and not only because of King Kong! When it was being built 70 years ago, 3,500 workers were employed on the site. One of them was sixteen-year-old Joe Carbonelli, whose job it was to carry drinking water up to the other workers.
'Joe and the Skyscraper' explains how - in only 18 months - the worlds tallest skyscraper was built: 381 meters high with 102 floors. The giant structure remained the worlds tallest building for a quarter of a century and came to be regarded as the Eighth Wonder of the World.
'Adventures in Architecture' is an exciting series that opens up the world of architecture to children of all ages.
