Over at the “Life at HOK”, they’ve got an interesting chart of the size of the Stimulus package in physical terms.
We all know that $780 billion dollars is a LOT of money….but how much is it in architectural terms? Check out this cool visualization sent to me by Ming Hu in the DC office (Hi Ming – thanks for the great visualization!) – haven’t verified the accuracy and don’t know where it originated, but it’s pretty interesting nonetheless:
At the end, he correlates the size of the stimulus to approximately the same size as the World Trade Center.
Thanks for the ping! Love your site!
