For me the design always comes second, their sheer scale is what makes them amazing. Seeing them from the distance, thinking they're nearby, but then you just keep approaching and approaching and they keep getting bigger.

What this slideshow does perfectly is picture them from a POV perspective, nowadays you mostly see drone shots.

I completely agree with this. Have you ever noticed how very tall but narrow buildings (i.e. skyscrapers) are never as physically imposing as bulky, monolithic buildings that are as nearly as wide as they are tall?
