Cool Spaces

December 15, 2010
The Massachusetts architect Stephen Chung recently dropped by our offices in New York to tell us about his proposed television series for PBS, "Cool Spaces."  According to Chung, America's audiences are interested in architecture and ready to hear more about it.  His series will offer the viewer a kind of immersive experience, taking the viewer into the most interesting public spaces around.  Wouldn't you like to walk through the Cooper Union with real people, hear what it sounds like, get a sense of its feel?
I personally think Chung is onto something:  spreading the word about design's real value to contemporary society.  But he needs help getting on the air, apparently.  He says a simple email sent to PBS at  DIFundSubmission@pbs.org    would give him a leg up against formidable competition.  So write a note today, and tell them you're ready to see "Cool Spaces."  I am.
