What's the name of the bldgs?? Missing the important part sigh

It's a shame we can't build anything that lasts like the pyramids.
Oh well, I'm sure someone will find our plastic bottles 10, 000 years from now.

Very cool but I wish they didn't cut away so (too) soon.

The narrator is from the cold case files 🤔

[FANATICALLYSICK]

At the 4:00 mark, what's the name of that structure???

I wonder if the old style pier in Brighton could have been rebuilt for the same or less money? Europe rebuilt whole war damaged cities to what they looked before.

Form and function. What I don’t understand is the excess structures that seems to serve no purpose other than visual effect.

India building rollercoaster tunnels going in circles in the Himalayan ranges now using present day tunnel boring machines later getting converted to tunnel hyperloop

Massive architecture? But do you know that architecture elements are resting on structural/civil elements? It means all architectural elements are very much dependent on structural/ civil elements of an structure...a civil engineer can sign an architectural plan even closing his eyes. But an architect can not sign a civil civil or structural plans...that's the difference between an engineer and an architect

First to see and last to register that i saw it.

No way! Chinese buildings are falling down all over the country

[EarthHappenings]

Sure these building are advanced but not as advanced as the structures built by the ancients. They were far more advanced that's why they last thousands of years.

Hey, guys let's just build and pave over every inch of the earth so the ultra rich can stand back and high five each other.
