National Geographic takes you behind the scenes of One Bryant Park

Here at Gadling we have a thing for Skyscrapers from around the world. We've posted about mega tall structures in Dubai, Mexico City and even shown how bamboo helps make tall buildings in Hong Kong.

It's time to bring things closer to home, thanks to National Geographic. This Thursday (November 6th) at 9PM ET/PT, you'll be able to watch the world premiere of their newest show; Man-Made: Ultimate Skyscraper.

Of course, this is not your average skyscraper. National Geographic is giving you a behind the scenes look at One Bryant Park, which is set to become the second tallest building in New York City, and one of the world's most energy efficient skyscrapers.

This 1200ft skyscraper is due to open later this year, at a total cost of over $1 Billion. Once completed, it will become the new home for Bank of America.
