PROJECT FORMAT: TRADITIONAL.
PROJECT SUMMARY:A tall, freestanding, narrow building when ready for demolish can be seen usually as one thing, another building to be removed. Although, if one side is looked closely upon a pattern can be seen. In usual demolition procedure a building would have a section of its base knocked out by a bulldozer or dynamite, giving the building no alternative but to fall to one side. When the building reaches a tilt of 45 degrees, a lateral crack would probably appear near the middle. The lateral crack would force the top part of the building to begin to fall more slowly then the bottom part which would form a V. This occurs because when the building falls the top part has to speed up its movement downwards than the bottom. A crack would appear since the building can’t withstand the bending process and acceleration.
