Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
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. Season 1 - DVD Set (Part 1): With land area shrinking and population growing, Japan has decided to take its urban development strategy to the next level. Welcome to Sky City - the most massive super-building on earth and certainly one of the most daring feats of engineering ever attempted. From the sky to beneath the sea, get a peek at exclusive designs of a truly extreme concept to link Canada and Scotland with a rail tunnel spanning the Atlantic Ocean. And speaking of rail, watch as Manhattan city planners work to strike a balance between attracting even more people to the city that never sleeps...and transporting them effectively. We rise above ground once again to witness structural engineers and leading architects reveal their impressive design to build a massive bridge joining North America and Asia across the Bering Strait. We then travel back to Japan and watch as city planners look to build a massive pyramid over Tokyo Bay to relieve the stress of alarming overpopulation.
