An aquatics structure like none other is designed and built in Beijing. The Beijing Water Cube is a bold experiment in architecture and a cutting-edge vision of eco-engineering. Go behind the scenes to learn more about this brilliant fantasia of steel and plastic.

Berlin’s new train terminal is designed to be constructed almost entirely out of glass and is being rushed to completion before the World Cup 2006, when millions of soccer fans will be expected to visit Berlin. Megastructures documents the historical feat when two daring teams attempt a feat never before accomplished in construction history; the tipping of two bridges over the roof of the glass station. Already costing 4 billion dollars, almost 5 years in construction delays, over budget, and with the architect suing the developers for cutting corners, will the terminal be ready before the dateline?
