99% Invisible did an episode recently about coverting office buildings to residential. Its an idea that I hear floated pretty often and sometimes get questions about as a structural engineer (I’m not that kind of structural engineer, so I never have much of an answer other than broad strokes, ha). Especially in the post covid, remote/hybrid work world.
I don’t think its really their finest work, but it is nice to see someone at least take a small dive into some of the issues these kinds of projects have to deal with. I think this topic deserved a bit more time and would have loved to see them do a mini series on it.
Anyway, I saw this thread get revived and thought this episode might be interesting to some folks here. Enjoy!
