the highrise

Director Katerina Cizek, using the archives of The New York Times, has created an interactive history of the highrise as a four-part short documentary series, A Short History of the Highrise. 'Highrises' in Bermuda bear absolutely no resemblance to those you experience in other densely packed urban areas but, given recent chatter around the question "How high is high?" (a new City Plan is on the horizon), it seems timely to learn more about these structures.

Enjoy Part One of the series, Mud, below - in full rhyme, no less. The other parts are titled Concrete, Glass and Home. Click here for the full interactive version.
