Cool shot of something many may not get to see.
Reality is a nice place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there!

interesting shot of the anchoring point of the curtain wall skin.
The bottom of the aluminum frames are held with a fixed anchor (to the structural steel) while all the other floors are floating anchors - that allow the entire curtain wall system to expand and contract with temperature.
The most difficult job here is getting the frames (most systems use a snap interlock) to come together around the building - the structural steel is allowed to be out 1" over 10', but the glazing systems are only allowed 1/8" over 10' usually.
This type of work is the most "visible" of what my trade does.
