"Witness construction of Spain's strangest skyscraper: the 700-foot tall Torre Espacio, a.k.a., the Space Tower. It's the only skyscraper in the world where every single floor plan is completely different – a design feature dictated by the crazy, spiraling shape of the structure. Support columns tilt at weird angles, and the concrete forms used to layout each floor change as the building rises. Join host Danny Forster and the Tower crew as they struggle to build one entire level of the skyscraper in just a week. They'll fashion the forms that shape the unique layout of that particular floor plan. They'll lift massive support structures, wrestling them into place. And they'll fire up the Putzmeister – a state-of-the-art pump powerful enough to blast thousands of tons of concrete from the ground to the upper floors, hundreds of feet above."--shopping.discovery.com
