But all of these modern marvels pose challenges that stretch the definition of what's possible. Watch as jaw-dropping computer animation and first-hand accounts from builders, designers and engineers breathe life into the most extreme construction projects ever conceived.Witness construction of Spain's strangest skyscraper: the 700-foot tall Torre Espacio, a.k.a., the Space Tower. It's the only skyscraper in the world where every single floor plan is completely different – a design feature dictated by the crazy, spiraling shape of the structure. Support columns tilt at weird angles, and the concrete forms used to layout each floor change as the building rises.Join host Danny Forster and the Tower crew as they struggle to build one entire level of the skyscraper in just a week. They'll fashion the forms that shape the unique layout of that particular floor plan. They'll lift massive support structures, wrestling them into place. And they'll fire up the Putzmeister – a state-of-the-art pump powerful enough to blast thousands of tons of concrete from the ground to the upper floors, hundreds of feet above.

But each of these modern marvels poses challenges that stretch the definition of what's possible. Watch as jaw-dropping computer animation and first-hand accounts from builders, designers and engineers breathe life into the most extreme construction projects ever conceived.Arizona Cardinals fans haven't had much reason to cheer in recent years, but that's set to change with the introduction of a state-of-the-art stadium. Filmed before its completion date of August, 2006, the Cards' new nest was set to sport a number of one-of-a-kind features – from the "star-chitect" design by Peter Eisenman to North America's first slide-out tray field to the clever "pie-slice" construction method. But with the project only 65 percent complete, workers must shift into hurry-up mode to wrap up construction in time for next season's opener. Watch as crews lift the retractable roof into place, lay enough power lines to run a small city, install the stadium's unique steel-ribbon outer shell and much more.
