Recommended Dan Cruickshanks Adventures in Architecture

BBC TV, 2008

Star Review

In a new BBC series that celebrates architecture as a creative force and a portrait of humanity through building, architectural historian and writer Dan Cruickshank explores the world’s greatest cities, buildings and monuments. He travels the world seeking out its most stunning constructions, with locations ranging from Russian palaces to Mayan pyramids; from igloos in Greenland to Bavarian castles and from the largest Buddha in the ancient world, situated in China, to the Sun Temple in Konarak in India, a Hindu place of worship whose sexually explicit statues so appalled the British in the 19th century that it was almost demolished. Other programmes take him to the lavish baroque ornament of the Catherine Palace in St Petersburg and the Albi Cathedral in southern France. Each programme has a theme, such as beauty, pleasure or paradise. Over eight weeks, Cruickshank explores the cities and buildings that illustrate each theme, travelling to the locations, learning about the countries and meeting the people who live in, and with, the buildings that are his destination.
