Architecture Series Set for Worldwide Release

Janson Media today announced the release of Cool Spaces: The Best New Architecture to worldwide television, VOD, DVD and digital markets. Join host and architect Stephen Chung as he profiles the most provocative and innovative public spaces in North America. Each hour long episode is organized around a central theme such as &'Spaces for Art,&' &'Sustainable and Green,&' and &'Performance & Entertainment&' and profiles three to four recently completed buildings. But Cool Spaces is not just a show about buildings. Rather, the focus is on the diverse range of people that are connected together by a significant piece of architecture. Their stories highlight the enormous human diversity behind the scenes of every building. Cool Spaces premiered on U.S. public television stations (PBS) nationwide in 2014.

&'While I hope that architects like the show, they are not the target... It should feel more like a behind-the-scenes tour of a cool building, a way to share my passion for architecture with the general public — and those who use the places we create.&' - Stephen Chung

TV Worth Watching said this about the series: &'With Cool Spaces, Chung is attempting to bring the matter of high architectural design into use and make it more accessible. Cool Spaces at its best shows how innovation arrives and blends into the everyday. Chung is doing it here with the upper end of the economic spectrum - concert halls and sports palaces, and in later episodes, going to cutting-edge libraries and art museums.&'
