From an abandoned New York rail line repurposed into a jaw dropping public park; to a former Danish Shipyard turned sunken museum, this global engineering series explores extraordinary structures, buildings, and landmarks which have been transformed from their original function into something different entirely. In an age of heightened environmental awareness, this is upcycling at its best.
We discover the history of how and why they were originally built, and dive into the reason behind their repurposing. But above all, the series focuses on the engineering prowess required for such mammoth upcycling projects - uncovering every step of how the buildings were metamorphosed by expert teams, from their original purpose into something completely new, in a way that preserves the past while providing function for the future.
