DID WE LEARN NOTHING FROM PATLABOR 1

But some engineering experts see many of the inconveniences as symptoms of problems with the building’s design.

All tall buildings sway in the wind, but supertall skinny towers move more. At 432 Park, designers expected the building to sway several feet — enough for water to slosh in bathtubs and chandeliers to jingle.

Like other supertall towers, 432 Park relies on the counterweight system to address the forces of wind and reduce the feeling of swaying for residents. But unlike many other supertall towers that are tiered or taper toward the top, 432 Park is rectangular, making it less aerodynamic.

The developers believed that their boxy design would work, thanks to a series of open-air floors that allow wind to pass through.

But the rapid appearance of cracks, the emergence of new ones and past breakdowns in the counterweight system all point to the building facing unexpected stress from wind, said Scott Chen, a forensic engineer in Melbourne, Australia, who studied the building.

Head to a protest today. I can almost promise you will feel less hopeless. That's exactly what they don't want. There are more of us than there are of them.
