Modern Marvels
Celebrating modern engineering excellence. This programme journeys back in time to take a look at some of the world's most incredible architectural masterpieces of all time, including marvels of staggering proportions. Hadrian's Wall, which stretches 74 miles long and is 2,000 years old, a tantalising treasure that historians are eager to explore further. London's Tower Bridge, a symbol of industrial might and technological daring. Gustave's Eiffel Tower, the very essence of Paris. San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge, which fifty years after its construction is still regarded as one of the world's most incredible engineering accomplishments. One of the world's most ambitious engineering projects The Trans-Siberian Railway and the Empire State Building, synonymous with its home New York City.



3) Eiffel Tower
It was meant to be a temporary exhibit, a demonstration of French engineering acumen at the Paris World Fair. But to Parisians, the tower, designed by the brash, young Gustave Eiffel, came to stand for much more. This is the monumental tale of the graceful steel sculpture that stands at almost 1,000 feet.
