Skyscrapers are the norm, now that technology has enabled us to structure rich, innovative constructions around the world. Looking at the imposing Burj Khalifa or the masterpiece named as Taj Mahal, we realise that the global construction industry is undergoing a massive transformation.

Here are six constructional wonders of all time and a bit of each of their history to appreciate the heritage of architecture and design

The pathway is long enough to connect two different European countries. Stretching from Folkestone Kent, The UK to Coquilles Pas-de-Calais, France, this pathway has beaten Japan’s endeavours to form the biggest tunnel in the world.

The speediest Eurostar Passenger trains and road vehicles run on it, making the whole system cost 9 billion euros and the most expensive since its formation.

Manhattan and Brooklyn, the two hearts of the United States, are connected by the oldest and the very famous Brooklyn Bridge. A German engineer evolved the idea at first, but due to his untimely death, the pending work was carried out by his son John August Roebling. It’s the charm of The New York City and its expenses peaked to US$15.5 million.
