### 카드 스태킹의 달인: 브라이언 버그와 함께 놀라운 구조물 만들기
* 🏗 하버드 교육을 받은 디자이너인 버그는 **1994년부터 전문적으로 카드를 쌓아올리며 여러 세계 기록을 경신**하고 **벽돌을 담을 수 있고 나뭇잎 송풍기를 견딜 수 있는 놀라운 구조물**을 만들어냈습니다.
* 🎓 건축학을 전공했지만 독학으로 배운 **버그의 카드 쌓기 기술**은 일반적인 피라미드 모양 대신 **정사각형과 직각형**을 활용합니다.
* 🌆 2008년에는 중국 쇼핑몰에 **베이징 올림픽 선수촌을 카드로 재현**했고, 2007년에는 **26피트가 넘는 세계 최고 높이의 카드 구조물**을 만들었습니다.
* 🛠 버그는 안정성을 높이기 위해 **카드 한 장 대신 3~4장**을 사용하기도 하며, **2010년에 세계 최대 규모의 카드 구조를 구축하기 위해 20만 장 이상의 카드**를 사용하기도 했습니다.
* 🚀 10시간 동안 원하는 것을 만들 수 있는 시간이 주어지자 버그는 미적인 이유로 바깥쪽은 미완성 상태로 두고 **속이 빈 중앙에 일련의 기둥을 배치하여 로켓**을 만들었습니다.
* 🔨 버그가 만드는 거의 모든 구조물은 완공 후 얼마 지나지 않아 파괴되어야 하지만, **그는 각 폭발을 구조물의 한계를 시험하고 향후 프로젝트를 위한 '배짱'을 키우는 과정**으로 여깁니다.
* 👷 Berg는 사다리에 올라 구조물을 완성할 때 두려움을 느끼지 않는데, **카드에 대한 성공 사례 덕분에 자신이 아는 것을 활용**하고 계산된 위험을 감수하는 적절한 조합에 대한 자신감이 생겼기 때문입니다.

- [Brian] The old saying
is like a house of cards, so that must mean fragile. That must mean imminent collapse. I know that a house of
cards can be way more stable than anyone thinks. - [Reporter] This
Harvard-educated designer draws on his background in architecture to build unbelievable
structures out of cards. They can hold bricks, withstand leaf blowers, and some are dozens of stories tall. - I don't really think
there's a limit to how tall a house of cards can be. The limit is your ceiling,
and just having enough cards. My name is Brian Berg, and I
am a professional card stacker. - [Reporter] Berg's
career in card stacking started when he was eight years old. He broke his first world record
when he was in high school in 1992. Since then, he's broken
several world records, often beating his own previous record. - I know this will sound crazy

but I actually don't even know how many times I've done a Guinness project. I know I've done the world's largest house of cards twice. Tallest of house of cards in 12 hours once. And then the tallest house of cards, I want to say I've officially went after a record, I think, I don't know, six, eight times at least. - [Reporter] And the one where he built the tallest house of cards in 12 hours, it was on top of a fully loaded washing machine that was turned on and spinning at 1000 revolutions per minute. - Guinness worked hand-in-hand with us to create a new record category. That was tallest house of cards in 12 hours, with an asterisk, on top of a loaded, spinning washing machine. That's not part of the category, but just had to make it even more impossible. Of course, I was kind of terrified that I would get a couple hours into it.

and it would start vibrating. Anyway, it's just nuts
sometimes what I have to do. The thing I always liked about the cards was it wasn't figured out. You had to invent your way through it. You had to make it work. - [Reporter] When Berg's
not chasing world records, clients pay him to build card structures for events and commercials. He's been stacking cards
professionally since 1994, but he started building when
he was just a little kid. - Card playing has always been a big part of my mom's side of the family. While everyone was refilling drinks, taking a bathroom break, my
grandfather would often times build a small house of
cards with one deck, and it would get two or three
or maybe four stories tall. It would collapse, and he'd curse, and then the card playing would resume. That was my real introduction
to card stacking, was my grandfather. He did teach me a few things.

but I really don't use
those techniques anymore. Everything else that I do is
a series of happy accidents that I've discovered along the way. I'll have a lot of people come
up to me while I'm working, and they'll say, You
should've been an architect. And I'm like, Well, you know,
that's my real background. - [Reporter] Berg does have
a degree in architecture and a masters in design from Harvard, but by the time he went to college, he was already an expect
card house builder, a craft defined by trial and error. And one of the most
critical discoveries he made was that the typical
pyramid shape won't cut it. - All the engineers and
architects out there will tell you that the triangle
is the strongest shape, and it is, but it relies on
ends being fixed together or being forced to be together. There's nothing forcing these anywhere other than gravity to the
ground like you just saw.

- [Reporter] So Berg relies on squares and right angles instead. The primary technique is what I call the grid. The grid is, you're setting the cards at right angles at their mid points to create basically a bunch of boxes. For me, card stacking, the more I figure out about it, the more I'm able to do, and the more I'm able to do, it just sets me up for the next discovery. There's the grid, there's the column that came out of the grid technique. There's the wall that came out of the column technique. I would say that the majority of things that I come up with now are some sort of a tangent of tangent of a tangent of something else that I already knew how to do. At every single project, I have a little observation that makes me better. Or I'll do something without even realizing it and think, Oh, that worked. Or, Oh, that looks cool.

and I just keep adding
it to my repertoire. - [Reporter] Berg recreate
the Beijing Olympic village in cards in a Chinese mall in 2008. - [Brian] For that, I built
the bird nest stadium, which was another thing that I had no clue how I was gonna even possibly do that, but I'm like, Yeah, sure, I'll do that. I got thousands of people
standing there watching me, including my client when I'm starting it. It's not working, it's falling over, and I'm standing there
thinking, What am I gonna do? But you know, that's
the fun thing about it is you just have invent
your way out of the problem, and keep moving. - [Reporter] Berg built the
world's tallest card structure in 2007. It stood just a smidge over 26 feet tall, and for this one, he tried something new. He built with the cards
standing vertically.

instead of horizontally. He had never used that
method to go that tall. - [Brian]: When I built what I
would call the latest version of the tallest house of cards, that was a little bit intimidating because it was probably three times taller than I had ever used
that technique before. I just took a risk and went for it. I really didn't know what would happen. - [Reporter]: It required
over 1000 decks of cards and took about a month to build, and it stood, and it
was surprisingly strong. - 1000 decks of cards built into the world's
tallest house of cards is somewhere in the
neighborhood of 140 pounds, which means that no sneeze
is gonna knock that over. It's actually gonna
take a pretty big force. I was using a leaf blower to
knock that house of cards down, and the leaf blower started
smoking and quit working during the implosion, so I
just threw the leaf blower down.

and had to go after it with my hands. Card house defeats leaf blower, go figure. - [Reporter] Berg sometimes
uses three to four cards instead of just one because
adding weight to the structure adds stability. - It's just a lot more
stable than they think it is. Is it fragile, yes. But is it gonna just fall down because you threw a penny at it? Or because you walk past it? Probably not. And a lot of that is just because of how many cards are involved. Think about how heavy a
stack of newspapers is or a stack of magazines. It's really heavy. You forget about all of that mass, and it's more of a brick
house, less of a card house. - [Reporter] Berg used over 200,000 cards to build the world's
largest card structure back in 2010. - In this case, it was
basically a massive replica of the Venetian casino in Macau.

It was 4000 decks, 45 days. It was actually more than 45 days of work because the last week of
it, I really didn't sleep. - [Reporter]: And when he finished, he used a tried and true
method to knock it all down: a giant fan. Berg has built a couple
of things with glue when clients have asked him to, but aside from these exceptions, Berg is a card stacking purist. - I don't tape or glue the
cards, bend them or fold them, or modify them in any way. I think the thing that surprises people is that gluing is actually
just insanely time-intensive. It takes 100 times longer
than just letting gravity line everything up for you. - [Reporter]: When Berg was given 10 hours to build whatever he wanted,
he decided to try something he had never built before. - For this rocket, when I got here, I didn't exactly know
how I was gonna do it.

I didn't exactly know
how it would turn out, but I had an idea, and
I knew that as I started working through it, that I'd
figure out what I wanted to do. - [Reporter] He started by making sure the conditions were right. - There's always some sort
of climactic consideration. Is there a subway outside,
down three stories? Another one is the humidity. If it's too humid, the cards will take on all this water vapor because
they're made out of paper, and they'll want to curl up. Likewise, if it's too dry,
they will do the same thing. They'll start to change shape. - [Reporter] Berg leaned on
his architectural background to build the different
elements of this rocket. In this case, the main structural design was a series of columns arranged
around a hollowed center. He designed as he went,
listening to his instincts, like he always does. - One big surprise on this project

was that I didn't finish
covering the outside of the rocket because
I actually really liked the lines chasing down it, and so I just left it. I could've built a central
post in the middle, and I could've built a
sheer wall or two inside to stabilize it, but I
didn't for the sake of time. And the cool thing about not
doing any of those things is that it created this
totally hollow structure that looks really cool
without the skin on it. So it's again happy accidents. - [Reporter] Here's the
thing about Berg's craft. He can't move the things he builds, and they're usually in public spaces, so almost everything he
builds has to be destroyed shortly after finishing. - A question I get a lot
is, Aren't you heartbroken when you destroy one of your works? And it's like, Well, honestly, no because people love it.

People are just drawn to destruction. They like to see stuff collapse and fall. It's never a good scene, I think, but when it's a house of cards,
it's just good, clean fun. I know it can't stay up forever. I can't take it home with me. I might as well have a
good time knocking it down, and the other part of it
is, I treat each implosion as a little bit of a test. The structural nerd in
me really likes seeing what it can take, and witnessing that. I go forward knowing that the project that I'm working on next is just not gonna fall down randomly. It helps me understand the limits. I'm testing it. I'm having a good time,
I'm knocking it down because I have to, and that
almost, more than anything, has given me guts. - [Reporter] And those
guts that he developed mean that he has no fear
when stands on a ladder.

and finishes these incredible
architectural feats. When I'm up there putting
the last few cards on, I'm not even remotely worried
about it collapsing out from underneath me because
I just know from experience that it's just not gonna happen. My track record of success with cards is just because it's the right mix of using what you know and
just the right amount of risk. And you hope for the best.
