Architects talk steam punk. Yeah, OK, monorail

May 3, 2026

A monorail over a river connecting three towns in Germany is a thing I didn’t start the day knowing about.. Built in 1901 and still operational. About 80,000 people ride it daily. And architects who dig on the intersection of humans and structures, even moving ones, explain it. You don’t have to listen to them; just watch the 2-minute video and feel how the world you live in isn’t the only way the world can be.

Now I must go there.
