A landmark engineering series exploring the inventions that enabled superstructures to evolve in size and scale

How did Bridges evolve in size from tiny bamboo walkways spanning streams to super long suspension bridges connecting islands? How did Buildings surge in stature from ground hogging town houses to cloud busting skyscrapers? In a landmark, four-part CGI-driven series, Big, Bigger, Biggest reveals the inventions that enabled structures to grow in size and scale.

Each hour-long film unpicks the engineering evolution of a different iconic structure: Skyscrapers, Bridges, Aircraft Carriers and Airports.

Each film opens showcasing the largest example of its kind and poses the question, ‘how did it grow so big?’

Rolling back the clock and winding down the scale, we reveal the seven inventions that allowed these structures to grow supersize... and the seven historic structures these key innovations first developed in. One by one - travelling up the scale - we reveal the incredible stories behind these structures and the inventions that drove them higher. Seven ingenious leaps forward that enabled superstructures to evolve …from BIG to BIGGER into the World's BIGGEST.

Over 50% of each film in Big, Bigger, Biggest is set in a stunning and stylish CGI landscape, where our seven inventions and seven landmark structures come vividly to life. Superstructures grow, evolve, bend, twist, move and collapse to reveal their secret workings. Combined with live action visual effects and practical demonstrations each film provides the ultimate explanation of how ingenious technology enabled superstructures to evolve in size and scale.
