Terribly Beautiful Eyesores
Building sins – they disturb, annoy and fascinate. In each episode, the four-part TV series ‘Pretty Architectural Crimes’ shows outstanding examples of architecture that is both loved and hated. Because the seemingly monstrous buildings can also be seductive. From brutalist concrete blocks to gigantic megastructures and consumer temples to prefabricated paradises – the series reveals the hidden beauty and special charm of these controversial buildings. And so each episode invites you to rediscover architecture and perceive it differently.
