2. Engineering wonders, such as bridges,
tunnels or railways that connect cities and
even countries, a spacecraft that sends man
to the moon or a skyscraper built to
withstand an earthquake, all have one thing
in common. They are made to solve a problem
and to make life easier for humankind.

3. Modern engineering wonders

4. The International Space Station
The International Space Station (ISS)
is an engineering feat like no other.
Roughly as large as an American
football pitch and weighing in at
around 925,000 lbs, this colossal
project hashelped us learn more abou
living andworking in space than we
could have ever imagined.

5. The Golden Gate Bridge
As one of America’s most
famous landmarks, the film-
lovers among you might
recognise the Golden Gate
suspension bridge as a
backdrop to the film A View to
a Kill (1985). Joseph
Baermann Strauss originally
designed it for less glamorous
reasons, to connect San
Francisco to Marin Country in
California, which previously
involved ferrying across San
Francisco Bay.

6. Burj Khalifa
At 828 metres high and
with 160 stories, Burj
Khalifa in Dubai is the
tallest building in the
world.
If that’s not impressive
enough, it’s also home to
the world’s highest
mosque, fountain, and
observation deck.
Designed by Adrian
Smith, Burj Khalifa is in
the 2km2 area known as
'Downtown Dubai'.

7. The Millau Viaduct
Designed by British
architect Norman Foster
and French engineer
Michel Virlogeux, at 343
metres (1,125 feet),
the Millau Viaduct is the
tallest bridge in the world.
To put that into context,
that’s even taller than the
Eiffel Tower! A multi-span
cable bridge, the viaduct
spans the Gorge Valley of
the River Tarn in the South
of France

8. National Stadium a.k.a. “Bird’s Nest” (Beijing, China)
Nicknamed the Bird’s Nest for its
intricate shape and lattice-like design,
this astonishing structure looks more
like a public work of art than an
Olympic stadium. Designed by the
Swiss architects Jacques Herzog and
Pierre de Meuron, the Bird’s Nest was
built for the 2008 Olympic Games and
Paralympics and seats 80,000 people.
The elaborate design incorporates
Chinese symbols and mythology.
Consisting of about 26 miles of
unwrapped steel, the stadium is made
up of two independent frames that are
set 50 feet apart—an inner concrete red
bowl for seating and an outer steel
frame weighing 42,000 tons. The
original design called for a retractable
roof. That was later removed from the
plans so the structure could more easily
meet seismic requirements and also for
budgetary reasons.

9. Palm Islands (Dubai)
Perhaps one of the more massive
innovative engineering feats, The
Palm Islands are located off the
coast of the United Arab Emirates
in the Persian Gulf near Dubai.
Known as the largest man-made set
of islands, he project, which is
being constructed by Nakheel
Properties, a land developer in the
United Arab Emirates, began in
2001 with the first of three islands,
Palm Jumeirah. Through the use of
sand dredging ships, the islands are
formed by filling the seabed with
sand. This process, known as
rainbowing, includes spraying sand
on top of the rising surface of the
island. Each island will be in the
shape of a palm tree with a
crescent-shaped rock encircling the
top of each island.
