In the last in the series, actor John Malkovich delivers a lyrical appreciation of his favourite moment in architectural history, New York's Chrysler Building.
Architect William Van Alen built the 1,046ft tower on Lexington Avenue in 1928-30 as an office building for Walter P Chrysler, ambitiously exceeding the world's tallest structure
(then the Eiffel Tower) by over 60 feet. Alen's design was a masterpiece of art deco, its elegantly ornamented spire or "vertex" making it unique among skyscrapers.
Malkovich first saw the Chrysler Building in the 70s and has loved it ever since. "I'm not really a deco man myself," says Malkovich, "but you won't find more elegant, pretty building in the world."

This BBC film divided the critics on its British cinematic release in 1990. But Philip Ridley's debut feature went on to collect awards at most of the major European film festivals before coming to Screen Two; it is shown in letter-box format.
Eight-year-old Seth is growing up in the American Midwest in the 50s. But the dream of childhood is about to be interrupted when a beautiful English widow, Dolphin Blue, moves into a nearby house. Ridley wrote the screenplay for The Krays and is also acclaimed as a novelist, playwright and painter.
