05/04/23 • 52 min
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".

The INSANE Engineering of the Golden Gate Bridge - #41
This week we’re heading to California to talk about The B1M's latest video "The Insane Engineering of the Golden Gate Bridge". Think of American landmarks and you’ll probably think of San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge almost immediately. The iconic structure has stood for over 80 years and remains a critical piece of US road infrastructure. Now the structure is undergoing a massive seismic retrofit project to ensure it is able to remain standing through the city’s next major earthquake and into the future.
Later in the episode, we look at the US Navy’s new National Museum in Washington DC with multiple designs proposed for the American Capital, China’s riverside theatre plans (Open Architecture), and Vietnam’s next skyscraper (Aedas Architects).
We end the show with a cheeky email from "Bahr270".
