An insightfull documentary on the lifecycle of buildings

This six part documentary (by Stewart Brand) into the lifecycle of buildings presents the way buildings get reconstructed from time to time in order to accomodate the way people use and feel about their own space.

• maintenance
• flexibility of modification
• the main vectors of change
