Man Made

Man-Made is a documentary-style TV series developed by the National Geographic Channel that delves into the stories behind the creations as it introduces the stories that lie within the beams and walls of some of the most impressive manufactured creations in the recent century. In a generation filled with constructive feats such as sky-reaching skyscrapers and suspended bridges, the inventors, designers, and workers all share what it takes to make these ingenious pieces of architectural innovation to life. In 2006, the world’s largest cruise ship debuted. The Freedom of the Seas was fast, streamlined, and capable of carrying nearly 6000 people aboard. The technology is so up to date that it could handle rogue waves, terrorist attacks, and even hurricanes. Why was it built like that and just how did it become what it is today? What about the Hoover Dam? When it was first created, it was considered an engineering masterpiece. What if it was created today with our knowledge of engineering? From dams to hi-tech cruise ships to Egyptian temples, Man-Made guides viewers in the dirty details of how things are made. MORE
