Summary

A look at the creation of some of the world's most technologically advanced construction projects. From subaquatic homes to futuristic towers and pencil-thin skyscrapers, these are the structures they said could never be built. Now, using revolutionary technology and cutting-edge construction materials, five previously impossible builds are taking shape across the worldScorpion Tower: In the heart of Miami, a skyscraper like no other is rising. The curvaceous design is radical and the method of construction is nothing short of revolutionary. The Scorpion Tower is a 62-story high super luxury residence that is the brainchild of architect Dame Zaha HadidEurope in the Desert: Austrian property developer Josef Kleindienst is spending tens of millions dollars to recreate the essence of Europe across six artificial islands located 2.5 miles off the coast of Dubai. Called Europe in the Desert, the 6 million square foot resort will feature 14 hotels, 42 private residences and will accommodate up to 16,000 people at a timeThe Floating House: In Dubai, architect Marco Bolzoni's fantasy project is called the Floating House. It's a floating villa combining the best of land and marine design. Above the waterline it promises two floors of ultra luxury living space, but head downstairs and step into another world
