Season 1

Follow a Manhattan skyscraper engineered to look as if a gust of wind could topple it, a Paris museum affectionately described by engineers as a jigsaw puzzle from hell featuring 3,500 individually designed glass panels, and a cliffside elevator in Zhangjiajie so remote it had to be built entirely by hand. Join us on a global journey to witness astonishing structures that push architecture and the laws of physics to their limits, then meet the brilliant minds who designed and built these wonders and uncover the stories behind their construction.
