Architect Jonathan Adams sets off across America to explore Frank Lloyd Wright’s masterpieces for himself. Along the way, he uncovers the tempestuous life story of the man behind them. In a career spanning seven decades, Frank Lloyd Wright built over 500 buildings, and changed the face of modern architecture. Fallingwater, the house over the waterfall, has been called the greatest house of the 20th century. The spiralling Guggenheim Museum in New York reinvented the art museum. Adams argues that Frank Lloyd Wright is now a vitally important figure who can teach us how to build for a better world. Wright’s belief in what he called organic architecture – buildings that grace the landscape and respond to people’s individual needs – is more relevant than ever, in Wales and around the world.
Con motivo de la Exposición Internacional de Barcelona de 1929, Mies van der Rohe construyó el Pabellón alemán –de vida efímera, desmontado meses después y reconstruido en 1986–, considerado por muchos la obra arquitectónica más importante del siglo XX. Mediante el uso combinado y geométrico del vidrio, el acero cromado y los diferentes tipos de piedra (muros de mármoles verdes y de ónice dorado, muros y suelos de travertino), el edificio propone una nueva concepción racional del espacio arquitectónico. En esta conferencia, el arquitecto y catedrático Luis Fernández-Galiano recorre la trayectoria del arquitecto alemán, desde la llegada a Berlín, sus colaboraciones con la diseñadora Lily Reich, la relación con el constructivismo y el neoplasticismo, y el exilio a Estados Unidos.

The Casa Mila: The Casa Mila, in Barcelona, commonly known as La Pedrera, is an apartment building built between 1906 and 1909 by Antoni Gaudi.
Barcelona's Sagrada Família could soon be at an end. But, as debate rages on as to Gaudí's intentions, can it ever truly reflect his vision? (https://brilliant.org/)
