Synopsis
Architecture meets biography, and also meets travel guide in this highly personal exploration of some of the world's most provocative, revealing and beautifully built structures. Jonathan Lee travelled the world and found some truly extraordinary man-made places, from stunning mansions, subterranean auditoria, hotels and churches to bizarre houses and a breathtaking sports ground. He was particularly interested in places that blur the boundary between people and nature.
