This Architectural series is, in my opinion, a simply wonderful production. Delightful to watch and highly informative, watching this series will bring anyone fully up to speed with the last several centuries of Architectural design. This series will also teach you the language of design, which will give you profoundly new eyes through which to see the built world around us. Fantastic stuff.
