About Cool Spaces

Profile the most provocative and innovative public space architecture in North America. Each episode is organized around a central theme—Performance Spaces, Libraries, Art Spaces, and Healing Spaces—and profiles three buildings. Guided by architect and teacher Stephen Chung, we see why each building was designed, how it was designed, and discover just what makes the building so cool.
