- An investigation into the greatest man-made structures of all time, exploring how new materials and construction techniques have allowed engineers, builders, and architects to work to the limits of their ability. The series focuses on the buildings that re-wrote the rulebook and the architects, engineers, and builders who made the impossible possible.

I know beauty is in the eye of the beer holder but the Duomo Santa Maria Del Fiore in Firenze is truly a thing of beauty and something to behold. It's was a marvel of engineering for the time but the Millenium Dome is a complete eyesore yet it's still impressive nonetheless.
I have to agree. I just can't seem to jive with the Millennium Dome...it looks like it's an unfinished structure, in addition to just being plain ugly. I agree it's structurally interesting, but that's all I can give it. It has an interesting story though, with those heist guys and their botched job. ;)
I completely agree the 500 year old Duomo Santa Maria Del Fiore is beautiful for many reason's. But the Millennium Dome will be lucky to be around for fifty years! It's not pretty!
joshua langley -- Millennium Dome, looks unfinished with the towers sticky through the roof and cables everywhere. It is a nicely done structural engineered building, but lacks human scale and warmth. It is more of a engineering project than a architecture project.
Joshua L -- I agree, Millennium Dome it's a glorified tent, way overpriced, electric car scam, fake NASA, and the powers that be continue to ride gravy train Washington DC. The funny thing is there is hardly any difference between the UK and the USA.
Joshua L -- Thanks Joshua for the welcome, the truth shall set up free!
Filippo Brunelleschi's dome is technical marvel, only recently are we really understanding how he did it, there are other video's on You Tube that explain this. The whole video could have been about this one dome, it was my favorite dome in this show. The other two domes were also interesting. Good video, thanks.
How Did They Build That? :D

I used to deliver to the Millennium Dome when it was being constructed and found out that the 12 towers supporting the structure was supposed to represent a clockface and all the overall combined weight of the structure was less than the weight of the air it enclosed!
You ask how. I tell you I build domes in my past but they were wooden domes. I worked for someone that has the business at one time. Most of the domes that was built is in Chicago for salt that gets put on roads. But their is one that is a that football, shocker, and some other games. It played the supper bow in it two or more times. That one was made when I was still a kid and that dome can hold one hundred forty thousand people. The last time I work at that place was 2009. I like working their and it would of been nice if I still work their but I don't. This all most dome you are showing is defrent then what I was doing.
I dont trust that last one.
The CNIT building was constructed to show off the know how of the French, science and engineering and so on. Now, it's a bloody shopping mall. So much for progress. Humans have become such small, short term thinkers. It wasn't always so, what the hell happened? I blame Thatcher and Reagan who subjugated everything to "market forces" and started the trend of not listening to scientists (especially Mrs Bloody Thatcher) even though ironically we are only too happy to use technology to communicate. Market forces legitimized greed.
Yeah Reagan and Thatcher.....984 francis, Ive got an ingrowing toe nail, Im sure that was Reagan and Thatcher.....

A plastic dome to celebrate the year 2000 - epitomised the shallowness and lack of any "style" of Tony Blair's premiership - so gross, so sad a lost opportunity for something outstanding aesthetically at the very least.
