Summary |
This is the definitive story of how one generation of British architects, born within five years of each other, changed the world with a bold new approach to architecture, led by Norman Foster and Richard Rogers with their high-tech vision. The first episode includes glimpses of some of their most stunning recent work, such as London's new 'Cheesegrater' skyscraper, Spaceport America and the KK100 skyscraper in China (the tallest tower ever built by a British architect), before looking in detail at some of their revolutionary projects from the 1960s and 70s.
