  • 10 That Changed America
    10 That Changed America Episode Guide 10 Buildings That Changed America Explore 10 trend-setting works of architecture that have shaped and inspired the American landscape. These aren’t just historic structures by famous architects – they’re buildings with global influence that have dramatically changed the way people live, work, and play. Hosted by Geoffrey Baer, the program features striking videography, rare archival images, distinctive animation, and interviews with some of the most insightful historians and architects (including Frank Gehry and Robert Venturi). This is a journey that will take viewers inside these groundbreaking works of art and engineering. It is also a journey back in time, to discover the shocking, funny, and even sad stories of how these buildings came to be. And ultimately, it is a journey inside the imaginations of ten daring architects who set out to change the way we live, work, worship, learn, shop, and play. Buildings profiled include Frank Gehry’s Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, a Prairie-style home by Frank Lloyd Wright, Henry Ford’s first Model T factory, Dulles International Airport, and the Trinity Church in Boston designed by H.H. Richardson. 10 Homes That Changed America He was a successful lawyer, a violinist, the father of American archaeology, author of the Declaration of Independence, President of the United States, and a self-taught architect, who helped established his new nation’s sense of style. Thomas Jefferson’s designs for the Virginia State Capitol and the University of Virginia became models for statehouses and college campuses across the country. But it was his own home – inspired by classical temples, and elevated on an idyllic hilltop in Virginia – that Jefferson called his “essay in architecture.” Monticello was more than just an architectural statement; it was also a political one.

    “where a good crime C r i m e can be had by all” c h r o n i c l e Issue #246 july 2006 BOOKS & DVDS A number of books have TV series adapted from them. Here is a selection from our shelves: ANDREA CAMILLERI Inspector Salvo Montalbano is the fictional creation of Sicilian writer Andrea Camilleri. Montalbano’s character and manner encapsulate much of Sicilian mythology – brooding philosophy, whip-smart dialogue, rugged beauty, superb food and of course astute detective work! I can heartily recommend both the books and the TV series (in Italian with English subtitles, and starring Luca Zingaretti): Books The Shape of Water, The Snack Thief, The Terracotta Dog, The Voice of the Violin (all Pb 19.95), Excursion to Tindari (Tp 30.00) and The Smell of the Night (Pb 27.00). DVDs Volume 1: Terracotta Dog, Shape of Water, Snack Thief, Voice of the Violin and Artist’s Touch (3-DVD set 49.95) Volume 2: A Trip to Tindari, The Sense of Touch, Montalbano’s Croquettes, The Scent of the Night and The Goldfinch and the Cat (3-DVD set 49.95) CAROLINE GRAHAM Nothing is what it seems behind the well-trimmed hedges of the picturesque cottages in the idyllic English countryside of Midsomer, as Inspector Barnaby and Sergeant Troy soon discover. John Nettles stars as Inspector Barnaby and again I can recommend both the books and the TV series. Books Death of a Hollow Man, Death in Disguise, Faithful Unto Death, A Ghost in the Machine, The Killings at Badger’s Drift, A Place of Safety and Written in Blood (all Pb 18.95).

    10 HOMES THAT CHANGED AMERICA PREMIERES TUESDAY, APRIL 5, 2016 AT 8:00 PM ET ON PBS First Episode of New Three-Part 10 THAT CHANGED AMERICA Series Visits Ten Homes That Transformed the Way We Live CHICAGO – 10 HOMES THAT CHANGED AMERICA, the first episode of the new three-part series 10 THAT CHANGED AMERICA, premieres Tuesday, April 5, 2016 at 8:00 pm ET (check local listings) on PBS. Hosted by Geoffrey Baer, 10 HOMES THAT CHANGED AMERICA, presented nationally by WTTW Chicago, highlights ten homes that transformed residential living, from grand estates such as Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello and Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater, to the pueblos of Taos, New Mexico, and the tenements of 19th century New York. Featuring interviews with architecture critic Paul Goldberger, historian Peter Onuf, and others, 10 HOMES THAT CHANGED AMERICA offers a primer in residential architecture and a fascinating lesson in the history of American domestic life, as the evolving design of these homes over time reveals our changing relationship with nature, technology, and each other. The ten homes, featured in chronological order, are: Taos Pueblo, New Mexico (c. 15th century) America’s first “green buildings,” the pueblos of the Taos Indians of New Mexico were built with adobe (mud), which kept the dwellings cool during the day and warm at night. Their closely-packed design fostered a sense of community and offered protection against enemies. Monticello - Albemarle County, Virginia (1809) Thomas Jefferson called Monticello his “essay in architecture.” Inspired by the work of Italian architect Andrea Palladio, Jefferson broke with convention by setting his plantation home on a hilltop instead of along a river.
