How did bridges evolve from tiny bamboo
walkways spanning streams to super-long
suspension bridges connecting islands? How did
buildings surge from ground-hugging townhouses
to cloud-busting skyscrapers? In a landmark, fourpart
CGI-driven series, Big, Bigger, Biggest reveals
the inventions that enabled structures to grow in
size and scale. The subject of this week’s film is the
world’s largest aircraft carrier, the USS Nimitz.
Big, Bigger, Biggest charts the engineering
evolution of a range of iconic structures that have
become part of modern living: skyscrapers,
bridges, aircraft carriers and airports. Each
programme begins by 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, the shows then reveal
the inventions that allowed these structures to
gradually grow to such massive proportions.
