Bad ass conference room

I’d be scared to death to go in for a meeting, but that’s cool as hell.

    Reminds me of the headquarters on 24.

    Right out of a James Bond movie.  ”What’s that, Svensen?  You want out?  By all means… Mr. Nordberg, please show Mr. Svensen ‘out’.”

    Take another look, Jim. There are big fat cables supporting the outer corners.

      There were big fat cables supporting the original Tacoma Narrows Bridge (“Galloping Gertie”) too. Until it fell.

        Piffle. You conveniently didn’t mention the wind factor in that bridge’s demise, as well as the significant structural differences between a suspension bridge of that grand scale and this simple INDOOR platform.

          Yes, I left out the wind issue. I also didn’t get into what appears to have been the underlying cause: the New York financiers insisting on design by a big east coast firm which created a very narrow bridge–now understood by the engineering profession to have been a really bad idea because of resonance. 

          That design replaced a local design which probably would have stood up to the winds just fine, as the replacement has. (It’s too soon to say that the new second span is successful.)

    It’s like the corporate suicide booth of the 21st century. Go Bender!
