The Terrible Engineering Behind Chicago's Crumbling Skyscraper

#MegaEngineering #Chicago #SkyscraperFailure The Aon Center was supposed to be a gleaming symbol of power in the Chicago skyline — an 83-story tower clad in elegant Italian Carrara marble. But only a few years after it opened, the building began shedding its own facade. In this video, we break down the engineering failure behind Chicago’s crumbling skyscraper: the decision to use ultra-thin marble panels, the brutal effects of Chicago’s freeze-thaw cycles, thermal hysteresis, and the $80 million recladding project that turned one of America’s most iconic towers into one of the most expensive building repairs in history.
