A man made city and it looks it, having little soul or salsa. What stood out more for me was the episode on architecture and when Hughes analysed the development of the new capital of Brazil, Brasilia. Not all episodes work, some were frankly dull as if some portions of the documentary were misconceived.

It is a polemic that takes the presenter around the world giving his insights of modern art in an accessible way. Like other documentaries made by the BBC in that era such as Civilisation and The Ascent of Man. The impact of both World Wars to architecture in the post World War 2 era. Made in 1980 it dealt with the development of modern art since the era of the Impressionists to the Surrealists. My interest was aroused as I caught Robert Hughes being interviewed for television shortly before his death while I was on holiday in Singapore. The Australian art critic and television documentary maker Robert Hughes died in 2012 and his landmark series The Shock of the New was repeated by the BBC in tribute.
