111 west 57th street takes the crown for New York with the title of the world's thinnest skyscraper. This slender tower rises to a towering height of 435 metres from a small site on Manhattan's Billionaire's Row that is only 18 meters wide. 111W57 (111 West 57th Street) is a structural engineering masterpiece and is currently the thinnest skyscraper ever constructed. 111 West 57th Street is also known as the Steinway Tower as it built on top of the famous Steinway hall. The Steinway hall had to be maintained and the structural design of 111W57th Street had to account for this complication. 111W57th is built on West 57th Street which has been nicknamed billionaire row due to several Slender Towers that have been now been constructed on this Street, with views over Central Park. To achieve towering of the Steinway Tower on a small site the structural engineers WSP had to use all the tricks in their engineering tool chest. #111W57 111 West 57th Street Height 435 Meters or 1427 feet Width 18 Meters or 59 Feet Slenderness Ratio 1:24 most of the aerial footage is courtesy of The the Dronalist on youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwVzYLZVFtOilxQzgjtPMkQ What to watch next Structural Engineering of moon bases https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVDFgt4IzyA day in the life of a structural engineer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8se3Ky0qESg The engineering behind 53 West 53 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2TJ9GHXn5o Shaping Building to Reduce wind Loads https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lgnFvl9rlsc Structural Engineer reacts to Grand Designs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gzL745By5Zw The Sinking Skyscraper https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cOkyBrhO0PQ 💡💡💡 My name is Brendan and I am a structural engineer with over 15 years of experience based in Australia.
