Written and presented by Patrick Nuttgens
Patrick Nuttgens likes modern architecture. He looks at the achievements of post-war British architects and finds much to admire. Something like St Paul 's Cathedral cannot be built today; there's neither the money nor the need. What society wants is schools, hospitals, homes - buildings which respond to modern technology and modern needs. Patrick Nuttgens takes us on an odyssey from a housing estate in Leeds to an insurance company in Ipswich, a leisure centre in Swindon, a school in Edinburgh, London's National Theatre and the extraordinary headquarters of the Halifax Building Society.

"Clear, articulate statement of how the liberal, detached architect sees his role in the world." (Time Out)
"Spendidly-spirited defence of the varied manifestations of the modern movement." (Architectural Review)
