Architectures, Vol. 4
Part four of this insightful series of films gives us a privileged, unprecedented inside look at the work of superstar architects and some of their most brilliant creations.  The volume covers such groundbreaking sites as: The Royal Saltworks of Arc et Senans, built in the 18th century for the king of France, The Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao which incorporates chaotic and abstract elements, the "rational" architecture of Jean Prouve's House, The St. Foy Abbey, a masterpiece of Roman art, and The Sendai mediatheque, a glass cube built in Japan in 2001.  This brillant compliation uniquely reveals the art of architecture, its meaning and impact.
