How It's Made

Season 25 Episode 9: Armored Vehicles, Tension Fabric Buildings, Rowers, Sculpture Enlargements

Vehicle interiors and bodywork are reinforced with ballistic materials and protective glass to create armoured vehicles. Steel frameworks are covered with tightly stretched architectural membranes to form tension-fabric buildings; frames, sliding seats, handles and resistance mechanisms become rowing machines; and small sculptural models are measured and reproduced at monumental scale.
