Architectures 1-5 (Box Set)

MovieMail Ltd Product Information
The Architectures series presents a privileged and unprecedented look at the work of superstar architects and some of their most brilliant creations. Co-produced by the European public television channel ARTE, this series of 5 DVDs looks at architecture and its historical and social functions to reveal its meaning and impact on humanity. Each 26-minute film in the series focuses on a single building chosen because of the pioneering role it has played in the evolution of contemporary architecture. Meticulously filmed, each building is explored in great detail and this in-depth examination highlights all the concerns that confronted the architect from the genesis of the project through to its completion. Architectures 1 covers milestones such as Germany's famed Bauhaus and the Georges Pompidou Centre in Paris. It also examines the work of architects Jean Nouvel, Otto Wagner, Walter Gropius, Alvaro Siza, Renzo Piano and Richard Rogers and Jean-Baptiste-Andre Godin. Architectures 2 analyses Frank Lloyd Wright's Johnson Wax building, the innovations of the Galleria Umberto I, the luxurious Stone Thermal Baths in Switzerland, and a high-speed train station, Satolas, in Lyon. It also examines the work of architects Santiago Calatrava, Peter Zumthor, Felix Duban, and Frank Lloyd Wright. Architectures 3 examines the Jewish Museum of Berlin, designed by Daniel Libeskind, Louis Sullivan's Auditorium Theatre in Chicago, a Dominican convent designed by Le Corbusier, Charles Garnier's Parisian Opera and buildings by Antoni Gaudi and Alvar Aalto. Architectures 4 covers the Royal Saltworks of Arc and Senans, the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Jean Prouve's House, the St. Foy Abbey, and the Sendai Mediatheque in Japan. It also examines the work of architects Claude Nicolas Ledoux, Pierre Chareau, Frank Gehry, and Toyo Ito.

Onhotels.com Product Information
Country:Italy City:Rome Set in the historic heart of Rome, behind Piazza del Popolo and at a stone’s throw from Piazza di Spagna, the Hotel Valadier is a charming intimate and refined 4-star luxury hotel. The Hotel occupies an ancient Roman palazzo and has undergone recent major refurbishment to provide all the facilities you would expect to find in a modern hotel, albeit not at the expense of its character and period features. Dominated by the green area of the Villa Borghese Park and a key actor of the breathtaking spectacle visible at sunset from the Pincio Terrace, the Hotel Valadier is situated in a privileged location at the crossroads between the most exclusive shopping streets of Rome and the city’s principal historical and artistic itineraries. Its 68 rooms have been decorated and furnished to meet the differing requirements of each guest, who may choose from among four accommodation styles the one most suited to their needs. Each room is exclusively styled, with design and technology meeting and blending to ensure your comfort. The Classic rooms are distinctive of the Hotel’s most traditional decor style: precious woods, stained glass decorations and inventive architectures help give the feel of being on a yacht, ready to set off on an imaginative magical journey. The bathrooms feature elegant inlays of precious marbles, such as Calagatta and Turkish Travertine, reflecting the Hotel Valadier’s signature style. A plasma TV for watching a range of satellite channels in various languages, direct dial telephone, a personal safe deposit box and a well-supplied minibar are there at your disposal to make your stay with us as comfortable as possible.
