Architectures - Season 1 Episode 17 The Saint Pancras Station
Overview: In the 19th century in London, the Midland Company had Saint Pancras and a luxury hotel built. Engineer W.H. Barlow carried out a major feat, creating a 73 meter single-span hall, with no columns or pillars. As for architect Sir George Gilbert Scott, his Midland Grand Hotel was a neo-gothic manifesto.
Comment
This Architectural series is, in my opinion, a simply wonderful production. Delightful to watch and highly informative, watching this series will bring anyone fully up to speed with the last several centuries of Architectural design. This series will also teach you the language of design, which will give you profoundly new eyes through which to see the built world around us. Fantastic stuff.
