The Greatest Buildings Never Built

Gary Arndt | Glassbox Media
About this episode

The world has many amazing buildings. From the 2,000-year-old Pantheon in Rome to the gleaming new Burj Khalifa in Dubi, humanity has been reflected in its buildings. 

However, some of the greatest architectural concepts were buildings that were never built. Whether it was due to a lack of money, having ideas ahead of the technology to build it, or pure insanity, many of the greatest ideas for buildings were never constructed. 

Learn more about the greatest buildings that were never built and why they never saw the light of day on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
