S1 E1: Burj Dubai

Jan 1, 201030 min

The Burj Dubai holds the title as the tallest man-made structure ever built. Pushing the technological envelope, it is the benchmark all future record-breaking skyscrapers will be based upon. Near India’s capital Delhi, the Qutub Minar reigns supreme for almost a thousand years as the world’s tallest brick minaret. Trace the history of two towers, two eras, both governed by the same principles of Islamic architecture.

Series info

Asia is currently witnessing a feverish pace to build, build, and build. Each country is trying to outbuild each other to the tallest building in the world. First it was the Petronas Towers, then it was the Shanghai Financial Centre, followed by Taipei 101, and now it is the Burj Dubai. Mega construction projects may seem like a new phenomena in current climate. However, such practices are nothing new in Asia, as the continent has been home to many mega projects from centuries past, inspiring similar construction in other parts of the world. Ingenuity - Engineering Ground Breakers looks at the engineering marvels currently being undertaken in Asia, and juxtaposed against an archetypal giant from the past.
