Link to Dan Cruickshank's Adventures in Architecture: Paradise documentary
Documentary Description
Historian and writer Dan Cruickshank celebrates the creative force of
architecture as he explores the world's greatest cities, buildings and
monuments. Dan looks at buildings that evoke the image of heaven across
religions and cultures, travelling to Egypt's Sinai desert, China's
Hanging Temple, and Turkey's Suleymaniye Mosque, a building that evokes
the gates of paradise. Finally Dan loses himself in the boisterous holy
town of Sri Ranganthaswamy, a place sacred to the Hindu religion.
