"A Manhattan skyscraper designed to appear as if gust of wind could topple it over. A Paris museum described as an engineer's \"jigsaw puzzle from hell,\" with 3,500 individually designed glass panels. And a cliffside elevator in Zhangjiajie so remotely located, it had to be built entirely by hand.
