- Skyscrapers have dominated city landscapes for more than 100 years. Since debuting as 10-story buildings in the late 19th century, these tall towers have constantly evolved as architects and structural engineers pushed the boundaries of what's possible.

Another misleading title: This is NOT a documentary about the Gherkin. This is a documentary about the history of skyscrapers in different countries.
WARNING! - This video is NOT specifically about the Gherkin in the City of London. In fact that building only gets a short segment towards the end. That said, it’s still very interesting covering how architects are working to make skyscrapers fit for purpose within their cultural and environmental context.
Thanks for sharing Awesome
Spark is their going to be another airport documentary I would love to watch another series like Heathrow one
We put up a video a couple of days ago on Bangkok airport - hopefully that'll do the job! 😉
@@SparkDocs thank you very much I’ll be sure to watch that
this video is very good
Wow only three comments so far, but I like your content so thanks for the video Spark 🤩
Spark is life saviour for civil engineering student
33:10 is the Gherkin segment
Due to planning permission and laws that date back to the tudors,no tall building can be built between St. Paul’s cathedral and Hampton court palace which obstructs the view from Hampton court palace of st pauls cathedral,that’s why planning permission of the Chelsea stadium design was rejected.
24:58 Septemper?
Is there going to be a video actually on the London Gherkin? This video bored me to tears.
buildings can not collapse from an airplane crash
The original World Trade Centre was mostly built from steel, and the lattice structure wasn’t ideal.
How can a skyscraper be "...Islamic.."(7:34) !? What dose Islam have to do with architecture!?
We hear that a lot in iran. Islamic architecture, Islamic art, Islamic science!!!
We call em two letter jocks. Like: Islamic philosophy! 😂
Wasn't Iran the hub for Arabic symmetry and not the other side?
@@nikhilprem7998
Yes it was.
Unfortunately Arabs in the name of Islam took a lot more than mathematics n symmetry from Iran and called it Arabic!
I wish it was just “Arabian horses” and “Arabian nights” , just administration an astrology...
@@shahruzpakzad8603 wait so Iran is not part of Middle East or Arabs??
Oh so that's why you guys have bit off hostilities?
@@nikhilprem7998
Iran is not an Arab country. Never been.
It’s a country with over 11000 years history, including a kingdom 25 centuries old...
Islam came to Iran 14 centuries ego and with it came All sorts of diseases. Hostilities one of them!
@@shahruzpakzad8603 oh that's something new for me.
🇺🇸🇬🇧👏
33:30 What? European cities have centuries history that Asia and the Americas don't?? There are Chinese and Japanese cities that predate the Roman Empire, Malaysian cities full of huge ancient religious statues, and American cities literally built on the foundations of the pre-columbian cities that were there for centuries (and rebuilt with their masonry).
Sometimes it's obvious that particular architects are morons.
For that matter, that bit on the world trade centres was...misleading. Their ineffective fire proofing and safety measures resulted in a lot of deaths, if not the collapse of the building itself. (The explosion may have been bigger than what they designed for, but their systems still failed sooner than they should have, at best.)
Another misleading title, I just unsubscribed, just for that.
Unsubscribed! Thanks for the click bait @Spark !
UTUBE SUCKS! !!
