The World's Best Construction Podcast

This week, we're digging into The B1M's latest video "How (and Why) India Built the World’s Biggest Office" - that's right, the world's biggest office isn't in Washington DC, Bucharest, or Shanghai, it's in Surat, Gujarat, India. Together, we dive into the absolutely massive Surat Diamond Bourse.

Later in the episode, we cover:

• Dubai’s supertall Mercedes-Benz skyscraper = https://www.instagram.com/p/C1q0yueMax0/

It's our first full debut episode! This week we chat about the US Government wanting to destroy two iconic art-deco towers in Chicago. We ask how long Skyscrapers will last, as well as LA's new 6th Street Viaduct, and a bold British Rail ad from the 1970's. Oh... and we get side-tracked by some Filet-O-Fish talk.

We end the episode with "Funny Comment of the Week" and your emails!

This week we're heading to Liam's native New Zealand to cover The B1M's latest video all about Auckland’s $3.2BN new underground railway. Auckland is New Zealand’s largest city - located on the North Island and home to over 1.5M people - but it's never had an underground railway... until now! It's branded as the "City Rail Link" (CRL) and we have opinions. We ask Liam what it's like being Kiwi. We think of what New Zealand celebrities we can remember. We get distracted. It's great.

Later in the show, we look at Toronto's ongoing skyscraper boom by chatting about two new 75-storey structures designed by Adrian Smith and Gordon Gill Architecture that are set to rise within a block of each other on Yonge Street. We also chat about US robotics company Boston Dynamics' newly released video of its Atlas robot helping out a construction worker - it's like something straight out of a Sci-Fi film. Lastly, we talk about the world's largest urban solar farm potentially being constructed in Rome. The project forms part of a masterplan created by Carlo Ratti Associati, architect Italo Rota, and urbanist Richard Burdett for the city's 2030 Expo bid.

We end the show with a lovely email sent in from Matthew Wellington and a movie-related construction question...

This week we’re heading to the Big Apple to talk about The B1M's latest video "The Shocking Story of New York’s Strangest Tower". The Daily Bugle Buil... uh, sorry, we mean The Flatiron Building - Manhattan's iconic triangular structure faces an uncertain future and has a strange story to tell.

Later in the episode, we look at New York’s Climate Exchange (Skidmore, Owings and Merrill), London’s new skyscraper at Old Street Roundabout (Kohn Pedersen Fox), and Manchester City's £300M new entertainment venue and stadium expansion at the Etihad.

We end the show with a lovely email from "Yan Hockey".
