Next Episode

Rob Bell's Engineering Reborn

The episode titled is a programme that follows a single presenter as he moves between three striking contemporary sites. It is presented as a self‑contained episode, offering a concise look at each location without extending into a broader series. In this instalment, Rob travels from New York to Singapore and then to Hamburg, taking viewers along as he examines each venue. He spends time on the elevated park in Manhattan, steps inside the repurposed industrial building that now houses Dyson’s headquarters, and finishes with a visit to the celebrated concert hall on the River Elbe. The first segment showcases the High Line, a 1.5‑mile‑long park that runs above the streets of New York City. Rob walks its length, pointing out how the former railway line has been transformed into a green corridor that offers both city views and public space high above the traffic below. The final part of the episode moves to Asia and Europe. In Singapore, Rob tours a former power station that has been converted into Dyson’s corporate headquarters, highlighting the blend of historic structure and modern office design. He then heads to Hamburg, where he steps inside the Elbphilharmonie – the city’s great concert hall – and gives a brief overview of its architecture and role as a cultural landmark.

In Hong Kong, a building that once housed a Second World War detention centre has been repurposed as a university, giving the former site a new academic purpose. The redesign respects the site’s historic character while introducing contemporary classrooms and labs. Meanwhile, in Wisconsin, USA, an ageing power station has been re‑engineered to serve as a student facility, providing modern spaces within the old industrial shell. The overhaul preserves the industrial aesthetic, now housing lecture halls and collaborative workspaces. Both projects illustrate how historic structures can be adapted for contemporary educational use, turning places once associated with confinement or industry into vibrant centres of learning.

The episode surveys the conversion of the iconic Brutalist Pirelli Tyre Building into a new hotel, detailing how its stark architecture was softened for hospitality use. It also follows the repurposing of two Singapore structures, both designed in a classical colonial style, which have been reshaped to house a gallery. By tracing these projects, the programme highlights the ways in which distinctive architectural heritage can be adapted for contemporary functions without losing its original character. Viewers are shown the design strategies employed to integrate modern amenities while it's respecting the buildings' historic silhouettes. The segment also compares the two Singapore sites, illustrating how their shared colonial vocabulary informs the gallery's layout and visitor experience.
