Over the course of six episodes we circle the globe, exploring the World’s Greatest Icons: that honor the sacred, buildings that reach for the sky, fairytale castles, lavish royal palaces, built environments that enhance communities and structures that represent power. Over fifteen unique buildings feature in every episode of World’s Greatest Engineered Icons. Powerful imagery and narratives that closely follow the course of history allow us to explore the artistry, ingenuity and engineering behind humanity’s greatest architectural accomplishments: the structures that define who we are and all we aspire to achieve.
