I've always been kind of disappointed with many shows that
claim to be architecture based. Shows that shows house hunters or “flippers”, extreme
homes etc.The only show I really liked was Building Wild by National
Geographic. I liked this show because it actually gave you a view of how the
architect designs and what it takes to get a building to come together.
BUT… I have to say the best new show that actually is about
architecture and architects is Cool Spaces. Cool spaces is a new TV series and
website that aims to showcase all the new and exciting things in the world of architecture
and design. They aim to take the viewer “on an up-close and informative tour –
not just of the building, but of the design process itself, from idea to
reality”. Each hour long episode is hosted by architect and teacher Stephen
Chung. Stephen recently hosted the 2014 AIA Convention in Chicago, and has also
appeared on HGTV and the Travel Channel.
Check out this short promo video for Cool Spaces Fourth

Definatly give the show a watch if you’re at all interested
in architecture and design, you wont be disappointed!
