David Dimbleby presents this landmark six-part BBC documentary series telling the dramatic story of Britain's architecture
- the extraordinary buildings that define a nation & which grew out of the experiences & beliefs of the British people. How did we get from the fortified tower to the grand open mansion & back again to the gated communities of today? How did we lose the marketplace to the out-of-town shopping mall? When did it become so important how libraries & prisons look? What does the way in which we arrange our city centres say about us? Can architecture really make a difference to our quality of life? This authoritative account of 1000 years of change in Britain's buildings tackles these questions & many more. Episodes are: ' The East
