| Extreme Engineering unveils some of the most ambitious architectural plans of our times. Some are theoretical; others are in the works. But all of these modern marvels pose challenges that stretch the definition of what's possible. Watch as jaw-dropping computer animation and first-hand accounts from builders, designers and engineers breathe life into the most extreme construction projects ever conceived. Engineers teem with confidence as they set out to build the tallest skyscraper in Northern Europe. But, there's one twist: This nightmare of a structure has to complete a 90-degree turn before reaching its final floor – 600 feet up. Nothing like it has ever been built before, and the setting – Malmo, Sweden – won't make the impossible task any easier. Freezing, dark winters and brutal North Sea winds threaten to turn the construction site into an unworkable environment, forcing the crew to rethink their ambitious plan. |
