Doubt and Reassessment
First transmitted in 1986, a look at how some young architects are reacting against modernist sterility with an exuberant return to traditional forms.
First transmitted in 1986, Andrew Sachs narrates the first of ten programmes on contemporary architecture. Against a background of disenchantment with modern architecture throughout the world, and the belief that modern cities are a failure, the series starts by outlining the changes that are now taking place, and examining what has brought them about.
The distinctive work of three young architectural groups are examined: Team Zoo from Tokyo, Arquitectonica from Miami and Helmut Jahn from Chicago.
