We are born, work, love and die in architecture. And because architecture moulds us just as much as we mould it, understanding architecture helps us to understand our lives and our world. Through ten great buildings across the world Tom Wilkinson reveals the powerful and intimate relationship between society and architecture and asks: can architecture change our lives for the better?

He has lectured on the history of art and architecture at the Courtauld and the University of Oxford, and is History Editor at the Architectural Review.  He has lived in Shanghai and Berlin.
