"This is the story of how buildings and public spaces get to be made, told principally through an exposure of the public and private realms of a number of very different Australian architects...This series is about politics, art, history, poetry, philosophy...about dreams and despair. The passions of complex individuals, their colleagues, detractors and admirers...These documentaries aim to trace the spirit and politics of these artists in our predominantly secular Australian culture.

Initiated by the ABC Network TV/Multimedia Project."
