Architectures - Season 1 Episode 64 The Sante, a Prison in Paris
Overview: La Sante prison (1861-1867) is a unique and impressive work of architecture. At the cutting edge of reflections on imprisonment, it was at the time the ultimate "modern prison", the stone embodiment of 19th century penitentiary obsessions.
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.
