Dilip Khatri, a structural engineer with extensive experience in the field, takes you on a ride to the massive 1,100-foot-tall skyscraper 'Wilshire Grand Center' and its development and construction. Without losing your attention, the documentary shows you how the construction was planned and carried out.
Aerial photos from drones and time-lapse shots were both stunningly caught. People talking about their job and plans don't leave you scratching your head because Dilip also shows how it's done as this 73-story structure houses a hotel, retail companies, observation decks, a shopping mall, and an office complex.
It is the highest structure in Los Angeles, the tallest structure in California, the tallest structure west of the Mississippi River and outside of New York City, Chicago, and Philadelphia, as well as the 11th tallest structure in the United States.
The documentary goes inside the structure. It is a beautiful exploration of history, people, and their emotions. The beauty of it is how the director and crew have an impact on the lives of those who are participating.
The Wilshire Grand Center was designed by AC Martin Partners and constructed by Thomas Properties Group, LLC in the 'Metamodern' architectural style, and I must add that it is an architectural achievement for both firms because it is the only building in Los Angeles without a flat roof to date.
It's not just the building that's important; it's the individuals that put in a lot of time, work, sleepless nights, liters of coffee, and a strong as a solid commitment to their purpose. Hundreds of individuals, working together to turn a sketch on paper into a reality that will astound everybody who sees it.
When you watch these people talk about what they accomplished and how difficult it was, you'll notice that they're smiling. They tell you about the difficulties they experienced and how difficult it was to complete the task as if it were the happiest period of their lives. No, they are not constructed of concrete, but they are proud of their labor of love. And it's because of this that they're content.
A documentary, overall, is what allows you to connect with individuals and their stories. Buildings or films, all boils down to the same basic principles in both fields: ideas, planning, teamwork, and directing them all toward a single purpose legacy.
