Description
The Open University comes to Channel 4 with a major new series, as Tom Dyckhoff explores how we shape buildings - and how their designs shape us. Concluding his exploration of what buildings do to ...us, Tom ends his journey with a little recreation and looks at how we're affected by the design of buildings we visit in our leisure time. He argues that architects are now designing buildings that are all about spectacle and cheap thrills, and have forgotten the true purpose of 'play' - to bring people together for a communal experience.
